Brooksville, Florida
Sexual Battery (35 counts) According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Brooksville, Florida. This is one of many cases documented in this database that show that abortion mills are the child molester's best friend. Since abortion clinics are primarily moneymaking operations, their personnel do not care when an older man brings a young girl to them for an abortion. They just take her money, abort her, and send her home to be raped again. 41-year-old George Hendricks was "caring" for a 16-year-old girl unnamed by the courts because of her age, but was in reality repeatedly raping her, beginning in November 2008. The girl told detectives that Hendricks would rape her when the other children in the home left for school. When the girl got pregnant, Hendricks tried to abort her by changing sexual positions as he continued to rape her. When this did not work, he took her to either the Florida Women's Center or the All Women's Health Center abortion mills in Jacksonville, Florida, where he signed permission forms for her to have an abortion. The staff at the clinic did not ask any questions, just took his money, aborted her, and sent her home with him to be abused yet again. On the day Hendricks took the girl to the abortion clinic, her mother asked where she was, and he told her that she had run away. The mother filed a missing persons report, and the next day, a family member told police where she was. Hernando County Sheriff's deputies arrested Hendricks on February 11, 2009, as he was preparing to leave town. He went to pick up the girl, but was met by police instead. They charged him with 35 counts of sexual battery. Hendricks soon confessed the rapes. References: Susan Wilson. "Brooksville Man Accused of Multiple Counts of Child Rape."

LifeNews, February 19, 2009. Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon and Burglary In June 2001, Macedonio R. Almanza broke into a house where his pregnant ex-girlfriend lived and stabbed her in the back five times as she lay in bed sleeping. Nira Kay Hennis was seven months pregnant at the time of the attack, survived and gave birth to a healthy baby girl on August 15. Almanza was charged with attempted first-degree murder. He had visited the home earlier in the day, but Nira's new boyfriend appeared. Upset, Almanza left, and returned to kill Nira with a steak knife from his kitchen. On January 22, 2001, Almanza pleaded no contest to charges of aggravated battery with a deadly weapon and burglary of a dwelling with battery, and Circuit Judge Richard Tombrink sentenced him to six years in prison. He will be deported to Mexico when his term has been served. He also received a suspended life sentence that he will serve if he ever re-enters the United States illegally. Reference: Jamie Malernee.

Unlawful Sex with a Minor This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation. Lynn Wilson of Daytona Beach was 41 years old, and was a typical pro-choice male who liked his girls young the younger, the better, in this case only 16 years old. The teen girls mother knew about this sordid relationship and warned Wilson to stay away from her daughter, but he ignored her, and had sex with the girl at least ten times. She skipped school to meet Wilson, and eventually got pregnant by him. He paid for her abortion in order to eliminate the evidence of his crimes. On March 25, 2010, police arrested Wilson and charged him with unlawful sex with a minor after the teen and her mother went to the police. On August 11, 2008, Wilson was convicted of one charge of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, and was registered as a sex offender. Reference: Lyda Longa. Police: Daytona Man had Sex with Teen.

Racketeering, Conspiracy, Drug Trafficking, Malpractice and Negligence Abortionist Harry Perper grossly botched an abortion at fellow abortionist James Pendergrafts EPOC abortion mill, resulting in Baby Rowan being born alive. Baby Rowans mother Angele said that I wanted it to be as humane and painless as possible for my son. They told me they would guide a needle directly into his heart and it would put him to sleep, and he wouldn't feel anything. [The next day] I waited outside, cramping and crying, for the clinic to open. My contractions were close. I had been having them for hours. I knocked repeatedly at the door. In one agonizing push, I felt and heard something come out. Then immediately another push. I was weak. I just held my head in my hands for a moment. Then I decided to stand up. I looked. There was my baby, the whitish cord and what I thought surely must be the placenta. I started sobbing and lay down (on) the floor. I stared and stared at my son. I was horrified that I had just had him in a commode. Angele then screamed for help for her son, whom she called Rowan. An abortion mill employee finally attended to her, but refused to call 911 for the baby, who was still moving and obviously alive. Angele then called a friend, who called an ambulance. But the abortion mill workers wanted that baby

dead, so they refused to allow the responding medical personnel into the building to save Baby Rowan, and he soon died. Angele wanted an autopsy performed on Rowan, but the local medical examiner (who happens to be Perpers father) refused to do it. Operation Rescue produced the film 22 Weeks to expose this tragedy.

Perper was disciplined by the Florida Medical Board for another botched abortion on patient M.R. at another of Pendergrafts abortion mills, the Orlando Womens Center. Perper perforated M.R.s uterus and bowel and shoved the remains of the pre-born baby and the placenta into the abdominal cavity, but did not detect the injury. The patient lay bleeding and in agonizing pain for hours. Finally she received an emergency hysterectomy to save her life. The Florida Medical Board slapped Perper on the wrist when it issued a Letter of Concern ordering him to pay a total of $12,589.30 in fees and costs. This was barely a week and a halfs wages for Perper, who ran his abortion mill and a pill mill together. He made an average of $8,000 a week peddling OxyContin and other powerful pain medications. In March 2011, investigators arrested the abortionist and charged him with racketeering, conspiracy and drug trafficking for his part in the operation of a pill mill where he recklessly prescribed OxyContin and other powerful pain medications. In Florida, selling illegal drugs is a more serious crime than killing babies, so a judge released Perper on $900,000 bail. The judge placed him on house arrest, ordered him to surrender his passport, and to stop the practice of medicine. He faces a maximum of 490 years in jail if convicted on all of charges. Operation Rescue President Troy Newman said that The Perper arrest is yet another example of rampant illegal activity present in the abortion industry. Perper is not the only abortionist caught running a pill mill as a side business to the abortion mill. Philadelphia accused murderer Kermit Gosnell first came to the attention of authorities for operating a pill mill out of his abortion house of horrors. When the authorities take a hard look at these people, they inevitably find gross violations of the law. References: Steven Ertelt.

Second-Degree Murder Larry J. Reeds girlfriend Anastasia L. Boyd was four months pregnant by him, and he was very unhappy with this situation. So, like a hundred other pro-choice men in this database, he decided to carry out an abortion on her himself by murdering her. On March 24, 2010, Reed shot Anastasia once in the chest after they argued about her pregnancy. Reed initially told police that Anastasia had committed suicide, but then confessed to her murder. Police charged him with second-degree murder.

Anastasias mother Elaine Speights said that She was very loving, very outgoing and a very beautiful young lady. We love her and we miss her. She was just my baby, and I dont believe he had to take my baby. Police did not charge Reed with a second count of murder because Anastasias preborn baby was not viable. Peter Bernard. Mother Mourns Shooting Death of Pregnant Daughter. Tampa Bay Tribune, March 24, 2010. Rape and Forced Abortion On April 27, 1988, Fort Lauderdale abortionist Theodore Lehrer, a member of the National Abortion Federation (NAF) and owner of the All Women's Clinic abortion mill, was charged with sexual battery after he imprisoned and forcibly aborted his wife. According to the abortionist's wife, he handcuffed her, dragged her into the bedroom, tied her to a table and gagged her. Then he raped her and forcibly aborted her against her will. It is significant that this abortionist and his wife had signed a prenuptial contract which stated that, in the event of divorce, the wife would get only $5,000 if she bore him no children, but would be granted alimony, property, and child support if she had children. References: Miami Herald, May 5, 1988; Associated Press, April 29, 1988; Leslie Bond. "Abortionist Charged for Aborting Wife Against Her Will." National Right to Life News, June 23, 1988, page 9; Paul Likoudis. "Investigators Cast a Wide Net To Find Abortionist's Murderer." The Wanderer, December 10, 1998, pages 1 and 10. Forced Abortion, Bribery, Sexual Harassment, Falsification of Documents, Fraud, Grand Theft and Embezzlement James E. Billie was the Seminole Tribe of Florida's chairman from 1979 to 2001. He had a $312,000 annual salary and dictated most tribal spending. He also had a $15 million-a-year personal "kitty" from which he could spend as much as he liked. Other Council members were authorized to dole out $5 million a year each and more if they wished. According to a Seminole Tribe lawsuit filed on December 6, 2001 in Broward Circuit Court, Billie and his former operations manager, Tim Cox, falsified payroll records in order to pay $169,000 to "buy the silence" of Christine O'Donnell. O'Donnell, a 17-year Seminole employee who became a $100,000-a-year tribal administrator, claims Billie coerced her into frequent sexual relations, got her pregnant, forced her to get an abortion, and then fired her. The complaint also alleges that Billie and Cox conspired to divert $72,000 in unused sick time to Billie in violation of tribal rules, which do not allow employees to sell unused sick time back to the Tribe. The Tribe also claimed that Billie and Cox lost $20 million by shifting the Tribe's investments to a broker friend who went on a $100 million day-trading binge in one year. The tribe had cleared the way more than two decades ago for the mushrooming $12.7 billion-a-year Indian gambling industry when the United States Supreme Court backed its right to operate a high-stakes bingo hall over state objections. Gambling became a rags-to-riches story for the Seminoles. But some tribal members and outsiders familiar with the Seminoles say the fortune has bred an extended dysfunctional family that serves as a poster child for what's wrong with Indian tribes today and the ineffective oversight and accountability of their riches.

Florida - Page 5 -

To tribal member Gloria Wilson, the welfare of the tribe has gotten lost in the power struggle for Seminole leadership. Times have changed from the days when her family furnished its house with government surplus and most of the reservation's housing and roads were federal projects. Today, a chunk of profits from the Seminoles' high-stakes bingo, low-stakes poker and video betting is spread among its 2,800 members. Each man, woman and child receives $36,000 a year. There is talk of raising it to $60,000. Health care and college tuition are guaranteed for members, and "the money has been good for the people." But Wilson still has misgivings and gets angry when friends ask, "Where have you been hiding your BMW?" The extravagant spending was the highlight of a December 2002 Federal trial in December that charged $2.7 million in unauthorized money went to secret accounts in Nicaragua and Belize. Billie testified the money moves were in fact secret but approved by him for a new tribal Internet gambling venture opposed by other tribal leaders and the tribe's attorney. The judge cut the trial short in December and issued acquittals after the defense demonstrated a disturbing pattern of lax financial oversight and muddled leadership. Council member David Cypress testified that he blew through $57 million in less than three years, showering friends and relatives with Mercedes-Benzes, Lexuses and other luxury cars. He bought so many cars for tribal members that he said he had "no ballpark idea" of how many he signed for. Cypress said "I flunked in math so I don't know anything about numbers." By federal law and U.S. Supreme Court order, Seminole gambling is free of state oversight. References: Jeff Testerman. "Tribe Sues Ousted Chief Over Sick Pay."

Child Sexual Molestation (3 counts), Enticement of a Minor (3 counts), Transportation of a Minor for Sexual Purposes (2 counts) and Passport Fraud This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation. Like so many pro-choice men, 66-year-old George Joseph England liked his girls young the younger, the better. He met a four-year-old girl in Vietnam in the early 1970s, then took her to Thailand and India, where he began to sexually assault the little girl. Typical of child molesters, he told her to never trust the police and warned her that without him she would be forced into a life of prostitution. In about 1974, England moved to California with the victim and continued to not only have sex with her, but forced her to have sex with animals. He sponsored pajama parties for little girls and secretly took photos of them when they were taking baths. On October 20, 1977, a California jury convicted England of molesting three of the little girls friends, who were only 9 and 10 years old. England immediately fled to Northern California with the ten-year-old victim, and assumed the identity of Steven Arthur Seagoe, who had died soon after childbirth. England also gave the victim a new name before moving again with her, this time to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. England continued to sexually assault the victim almost daily. By this time, the little girl was hopelessly corrupted, and he watched while she had sex with her friends. When she was only 13, she became pregnant by England, and gave birth to child in September of 1981. Over the next four years,

England impregnated the victim several more times, and told her to abort all of these pregnancies. Finally, when she was 18 years old in 1986, the victim told England that she would kill herself if he did not stop molesting her, and then she moved out. She disclosed Englands abuse to the FBI, and provided information on his alias. On May 18, 2005, England was arrested at his home in Ft. Lauderdale, and he was charged with having obtained a passport in his false name. In July 2005, England pled guilty to passport fraud, and he was sentenced to 14 months imprisonment. After serving this sentence, England was extradited to California and sentenced to three consecutive terms of three years to life imprisonment on the 1977 child molestation case from which he had fled to Ft. Lauderdale. After serving almost four years of that sentence, the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Southern District of Florida filed a complaint charging England with offenses related to his enticement and transportation of the victim. On January 5, 2011, England was convicted of three counts of enticement of a minor and two counts of transportation of a minor from Asia to California in 1974 and from California to Florida in 1977 for the purpose of having the minor engage in sexual acts.

Lewd or Lascivious Battery on a Minor This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation. Cory Cortezis Lewis was 35, and was having sex with a 15-year-old girl. But this was an illicit relationship with a difference he was both her godfather and her pastor at the Church of God by Faith in Fort Lauderdale. The Lewis and the girl would have sex in his home while his wife and daughters slept. Later they would do the same in alleys and abandoned houses. When she became pregnant, Lewis urged her to have an abortion to cover up his adultery and child sexual molestation, but she refused and had her baby. Lewis was charged with lewd or lascivious battery on a minor, and pled no contest to the charge. The victim, who is unidentified, testified that she would rather have Lewis help support their child than go to prison. Strangely, even Lewis wife testified in his favor, saying he was the epitome of a husband. Agreeing, Circuit Judge Dale Cohen sentenced Lewis to two years of house arrest, followed by eight years probation as a sexual offender. Tonya Alanez.

Aggravated Assault (2 incidents) and Felony Battery on a Person Over Age 65 (2 incidents) Philip Allan Heim lives near the Southwest Florida Women's Clinic abortuary at 3973 North Side Circle in North Fort Myers. On March 7, 2003, two elderly pro-life protesters, John Doherty, 63, and Lawrence Atkinson, 66, of Fort Myers, were sitting in lawn chairs in public property in front of the abortion mill. Heim drove his 1994 Ford Probe onto the grass where they were sitting at 9:30 a.m., knocking Doherty from a lawn chair onto the ground. Heim then got out of his car, shouted at the men and grabbed them by the shirts, said Doherty, who said he and Atkinson were "quietly praying to ourselves," in protest in front of the clinic as they do three days each week. "He comes at us like a raging madman and throws the chairs at us. I was scared," Doherty said. "I saw the guy's face, he was glaring angry, he was screaming 'Get out of my ... neighborhood.'" The protesters were across the street from the clinic, as required by a sheriff's no-trespassing order, sheriff's spokesman Larry King said. Heim was charged with felony battery on a person over age 65, battery, and aggravated assault.

Aggravated Child Abuse, Tampering with Evidence, Lewd or Lascivious Battery (3 counts), Attempted Lewd or Lascivious Battery, Solicitation to Commit Lewd or Lascivious Battery, Lewd or Lascivious Conduct (2 counts) and Forced Abortion Like many "pro-choice" men, 22-year-old Papouche Edmond liked his ladies young the younger, the better. And abortion was the perfect tool for him to use in case of pregnancy. Only, unlike most such men, he did not drag his victim to a willing abortion mill; he gave her abortion pills. On September 25, 2007, Edmond lured an 11-year-old girl to a deserted location in Port St. Lucie and molested her. Then he had a friend, an underage boy, have sex with her also so that authorities would find the friend's DNA. The girl became pregnant, and he gave her abortion pills in order to force her to miscarry. She almost died from complications arising from using the pills. Edmond was arrested in February 2008 in Lakeland County by the Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team. On May 7, 2009, Edmond was convicted of aggravated child abuse, tampering with evidence, three counts of lewd or lascivious battery, attempted lewd or lascivious battery, solicitation to commit lewd or lascivious battery and two counts of lewd or lascivious conduct.

Assault, Harassment and Death Threat In August 2000, Father Thomas Euteneuer, a priest at Holy Cross Catholic Church in Indiantown, and Anne Lotierzo, a teacher at Hope Rural School in Indiantown, filed a lawsuit against the "A Woman's World Medical Center" abortion mill under the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) act. Father Euteneuer and Mrs. Lotierzo alleged in their suit that, from 1998 until June 2000, five clinic employees, an employee's spouse and numerous patients threatened them as they offered counseling outside the abortuary. The suit claims clinic owner Candace Dye condoned the harassment. They also say people tried to run Father Euteneuer over and grabbed his counseling literature as he stood outside the clinic. Rick Nelson, an attorney from the Orlando-based American Liberties Institute, represented the pair, saying that their counseling efforts are covered by FACE just as the clinic's staff and patients are.

Fountain, Florida
Murder According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around the town of Fountain, Florida. The State of Florida passed a Safe Haven law in 2000, by which any mother of a newborn may drop her "unwanted" child off at a hospital or fire station with no questions asked. By late 2008, that law had saved the lives of 117 infants in Florida. But this didn't seem to matter to Stephanie Collins. She knew about the Safe Haven law, but had an abortion and was pregnant again. She did not want to go through the unpleasant experience of abortion again, so her newborn baby paid for it with his life. She concealed her pregnancy from her boyfriend, neighbors and family, none of whom knew she was pregnant. When the baby came due on October 31, 2008, she delivered him herself, smothered him to death, and dumped his sad little body into a trash can behind her house. Her horrified mother found the little one fourteen hours later, and rushed both Collins and the baby to Bay Medical Center. Collins told investigators that she just did not want to go through the ordeal of another abortion, and that she had planned the murder during her pregnancy. Sheriff's Office Public Information Officer Ruth Sasser said of Collins' parents "They were extremely shaken. They didn't know she was pregnant and you can imagine what it would feel like to open the trash can and find your grandchild." Collins was booked into the Bay County Jail and charged with an open count of murder on November 3. References: Mark Jenkins. "Area Woman Accused of Murdering Her Baby."

Gainesville, Florida
Sexual Assault, Aggravated Battery and Death Threat According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Gainesville, Florida. 34-year-old Charles Daniels, Jr.'s girlfriend was pregnant, and he was not happy about it. He got drunk and high over a weekend, and, on June 21, 2009, he demanded that she have an abortion. When she refused, he struck her in the stomach, put his hands around her throat, and told her she would never see her children again. The woman, who was not identified by police, was treated for pain and bleeding. Alachua County deputies arrested Daniels and lodged him in the Alachua County jail on $70,000 bond. He was charged with aggravated battery and sexual assault. References: Lise Fisher. "Deputies: Local Man Assaults Pregnant Woman." The Gainesville Sun, June 22, 2009; Steven Ertelt.

Aggravated Battery against a Pregnant Woman James Darrell Burdens girlfriend was pregnant, and he decided that he did not want the baby. So he attempted to abort her himself. Early in the morning of August 25, 2010, he grabbed her by her hair and dumped her on the ground. He said that she had one week to get an abortion or he would make her lose the child. Apparently, he then decided not to wait so long, and began to kick and punch her in the abdomen. He shouted Let me kick your stomach or I will kick you in your face!, and Ill make you lose it! That afternoon, police found burden and charged him with aggravated battery against a pregnant woman. Burden lied to the police, saying that he hadnt seen the woman in a few days and that she was trying to get back at him because he didnt want to be with her anymore. Reference: Dan Scanlan.

In November 2004, St. Johns County Sheriff's Deputies arrested her and charged her with grand theft and battery. Armitage had 78 campaign signs supporting George Bush and Mel Martinez in her trunk. Armitage admitted that she collected as many signs as she could and that "I thought it was okay to keep them." Oh, well, that's different. We believe you, Fabe. Suuuuuuuure we do. Armitage was charged with grand theft for keeping the signs and with battery after a woman who confronted Armitage about taking the signs claimed Armitage opened her car door and hit her in the back.

Gross Negligence, Sexual Abuse and Drug Dealing (14 counts) On May 26, 1983, 21-year-old Maureen Lynn Tyke of North Huntington, Pennsylvania went to have an abortion at the hands of Bayard Britton at the Aware Woman Clinic in Melbourne, Florida, a member facility of the National Abortion Federation (NAF). It was the last "choice" she would ever make. Two days after the abortion, a friend called the abortion mill and told them that Maureen was seriously ill, and the abortion mill workers told the friend to take her to an emergency room. Maureen lingered for five days, and finally died on May 31, 1983 at the Holmes Regional Medical Center in Melbourne. Abortionist Hipolito Barreiro, the owner of the Aware Woman Clinic, had previously been charged with four felonies, including manslaughter and unlawful practice of medicine. Abortionist Britton had lost his medical license on two previous occasions, once for having sex with a former patient and once for selling huge quantities of controlled drugs to addicts.

She was quoted at least 30 times in news articles on this topic. However, there was absolutely no media mention of Windle's arrest for improper exhibition of a dangerous weapon on March 30, 1995. In January 1995, three Brevard County public works employees were driving slowly to inspect recent road work in front of Windle's home when Windle waved a gun at them from her driveway. In July 1995, she pleaded no contest and was sentenced to six months probation and a gun safety course without any media attention whatsoever. Reference: Tim Graham and Clay Waters.

The Dadeland abortion mill operated under many different names, so it could have as many entries as possible in the Yellow Pages, in order to bring in more abortion customers. Its names included; Abortion Access Center; Abortion Clinic-Hospital Center; Abortion Counseling Center; Abortion Information Center; Adoption Counseling Association; Birth Control Information; Dade County Abortion; Dadeland Abortion; Dadeland Women's Medical Center; Eason's Abortion Access Center; Florida Abortion; Florida Family Planning; Medical Center; Planned Population; Women's Center of Dade; Women's Referral Group; and Women's Crisis Center.

Before Roe v. Wade, Betty Eason had been using the names "Planned Parenthood of Oakland County" in Michigan and "Planned Parenthood of Greater Miami," in order to sell abortions in New York State. She had been doing this without the permission of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which sued her. Betty Eason used to tell patients things like "Don't go out and put yourself in the hands of quacks, dear. There are plenty of places that don't care about women like we do." She claimed that she went into the abortion business because "Someone very close to me nearly died in an illegal abortion in Mexico. Also, I saw a black woman in a New York hospital nearly bleed to death after she had an abortion with a coat hanger. I'm pro-choice. That's what gets me up in the morning." It would seem that Betty cared about the health of women, but that was only for public consumption. The reality of Dadeland was far different from the hype. Abortionist Richard Litt, who performed abortions at Dadeland until 1981, said that the abortion mill "is a scum hole. I wouldn't send a dog there. They should be put in jail." An investigative report by the Miami Herald in the September 17, 1989 edition of its Sunday supplement Tropic found disgusting and outright dangerous conditions at the Dadeland abortion mill, including; reusing disposable instruments; doctors leaving the facility while abortion patients were still in recovery; stirrups on the procedure tables were covered with blood; oxygen mask had lipstick on it from the previous patient; no nurses on staff; and that

"patient recovery was monitored by employees with no formal health-care training."

On March 2, 1985, Dadeland abortionist Chatoor Bisal Singh aborted Ellen Lorena Williams. He perforated her uterus and bowel, causing a fatal case of peritonitis that killed her three days later. Abortionist Robert Kast had also botched at least five other abortions at Dadeland. Another abortionist who worked at Dadeland was Nabil Ghali, who was sentenced to six months in prison for 47 counts of felonious sexual penetration and 29 counts of gross sexual imposition involving 25 of his female patients. He performed abortions despite having his license revoked for lying on his application for a medical license and for concealing an earlier conviction for molesting his 14-year old goddaughter. Ghali lost his license to practice medicine in Kentucky after numerous lawsuits were filed against him for medical malpractice (including killing a woman) and sexual abuse of patients, including children, and he moved on to do abortions in Florida, and then Ohio, where he racked up similar records. Among the numerous lawsuits filed against Ghali for botched abortions was one by a woman who had her bladder removed without her permission. Betty's son, Marc Eason, was a vocal pro-abortionist who worked at the Dadeland abortion clinic. He was sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole for the ax-murders of his roommates. Eason said the murders were "justifiable homicide" because the roommates had "complained about his sloppiness." He also stabbed his mother, abortionist Betty Eason, in the neck with a steak knife, saying she deserved it for having poisoned his father (who died of a heart attack) in 1969. Susan Eason Hoffman, "clinic president" of Dadeland, was convicted on 11 charges, from possession of cocaine to leaving the scene of an accident, and had 32 traffic convictions for speeding and reckless driving. Despite all the botched abortions and the filthiness of the place, pro-abortionists staunchly defended the Dadeland abortion mill. For example, Janis Compton-Carr said that "In my gut, I am completely aghast at what goes on at that place. But I staunchly oppose anything that would correct this situation in law." Like with Al Capone, what finally brought the deadly Dadeland abortion mill to a stop was the Internal Revenue Service. The IRS closed down Dadeland for unpaid taxes, but Betty Eason bought the assets and reopened the mill as the "Women's Service Center" just a month later. She hired two abortionists in need of quick cash, Steve Silvers and Scott Duncan. A subsequent investigation by the State Department of Health and Rehabilitative Services (HRS), Office of Licensure and Certification, revealed that the abortion mill and the Easons were still ignoring the rules designed to safeguard the health of women. The investigation found; one physician operating without a medical license; no registered nurses or licensed practical nurses on staff; unlicensed staff were performing patient care; a ninth-grade dropout was prepping patients, prepping and sterilizing equipment, assisting during abortions, packaging fetal remains for pathology tests using a blood-contaminated kitchen strainer, and dispensed and administered medications; another unlicensed employee monitored the patients in the recovery room; laboratory tests were performed on-site by unlicensed personnel; medications were being stored with soft drinks; syringes of lidocaine and other medications were improperly stored; medications had passed their expiration dates; inaccurate records of dispensed medications; some medications were unlabeled or mislabeled; single-use equipment was being reused to save money;

Florida - Page 14 -

paper used to wrap instruments for sterilization was repeatedly reused until it was bloody or ripped; the vacuum machine used to do abortions had residue in it, and staff were unable to report when it had last been cleaned and sanitized; another vacuum machine appeared to contain tissues from the last abortion performed with it; the clinic had no policy and procedures for patient confidentiality; no follow-up was done on patients with incomplete abortions and ectopic pregnancies; oxygen tanks were leaking and improperly stored; and pregnancy was not definitively determined prior to proceeding with abortions.

One of the inspectors from Health and Rehabilitative Services told the Miami Herald that "It was 10 times, 100 times worse than I thought it would be. As a nurse, I was appalled." The head of the organization said that "This clinic is the closest thing to a back-alley abortion mill that you can find, considering that abortion is legal."

Manslaughter, Gross Negligence (9 incidents), Practicing Medicine Without a License (4 incidents), and Malpractice (6 incidents) Abortionist Hipolito Barreiro, owner of the Women's Health Care abortuary in Miami, was charged with manslaughter and the unlawful practice of medicine in connection with the January 4, 1983 death of 33-year old Shirley Payne. He had not bothered with the trivial detail of acquiring a license to practice medicine in the United States. He performed abortions on women who were not pregnant. He asked a licensed physician to take responsibility for one of the women he killed. He used unsterile instruments and had three women employees with no medical training dress and act as nurses. Barreiro had previously killed at least three other women with his "safe and legal" abortions, including 23-year old Ruth Montero on August 7, 1979; 25-year old Maura Morales on May 8, 1981; and 26-year old Myrta Baptiste on December 18, 1982. Barreiro's abortion mill was unlicensed, because when the State of Florida attempted to regulate abortion clinics, their owners filed suit to protect their unlicensed status, and a circuit judge found that the law was "unjust." Eventually, public outcry made the courts realize they could protect and defend this abortion mill no longer, and Circuit Court Judge Joseph Nadler ordered it closed. There were many less severe but still tragic incidents of botched abortions at this abortuary over the years. On August 4, 1978, Carmen Neumann had her uterus and bowel perforated at the abortuary. It took her months to recover, including 15 days in a hospital. Digna Harris nearly died after her May 21,

Florida - Page 15 -

1980 abortion, also having her uterus and bowel punctured. She settled out of court for $39,000 in damages. Avis Quarrel sued abortionist Alfred Pin after being victimized by an October 1980 botched abortion. Linda McKinnon nearly died after her July 10, 1981 abortion. Jane Carroll had her uterus ruptured during her December 29, 1981 abortion and had to have a hysterectomy. Ivonne Bruno had a huge tear in her uterus caused by a May 9, 1982 abortion and had to have a total hysterectomy. It should be noted that local and national pro-abortion groups loudly and vigorously defended this butcher shop during the investigations, once again demonstrating that their sole interest is making money, not protecting the lives and safety of women. It also made a mockery of their cry "We will never go back to the back alley!" They don't have to; they're already there! References: Steve Sternberg and Bob Lowe.

Assault, Destruction of Property, Gross Malpractice, Malpractice (5 incidents), Felony Falsification of Records, Practicing Medicine without a License (5 counts), Professional Misconduct and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (12 counts) According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Hialeah, Florida. In 2006, 18-year-old Sycloria Williams paid $1,200 for a 23-week abortion at the Miramar Women's Center abortion mill in Hialeah, just outside Miami. Abortionist Pierre Jean-Jacques Renelique inserted laminaria on the first day of the two-day procedure. Laminaria are seaweed sticks which absorb water and expand to dilate the cervix. He also gave her a drug, Cytotec, to induce uterine contractions, and made an appointment with her at another abortion mill, A GYN Diagnostic Center. She appeared as scheduled complaining of severe stomach pains. The abortion mill staff told her that Renelique was unavailable, and he later said that he would see her on his own time, not hers. He did not appear for four hours after his scheduled appointment. Meanwhile, Sycloria went into labor and delivered a living, gasping baby girl that she named Shanice Denise right onto the seat cushion of the recliner she was sitting in. Renelique was still not available. Then one of the owners of the abortion mill, Belkis Gonzalez, entered the room, cut the umbilical cord with a pair of scissors, and placed the live baby into a biohazard bag filled with chemicals. She sealed the bag and threw it onto the roof of the abortion mill in order to hide it. Police eventually found the baby's body a week later in a cardboard box in a closet in the abortion mill. In an interview, Sycloria said that she had changed her mind about abortion, and described her experience at the abortion mill; They never said anything to me that would make me think it was a baby. They never said anything like baby, fetus. Nothing. They only said things like "termination" and "pregnancy" and "termination of pregnancy." They cheated me because they didn't tell me everything and the doctor wasn't there. They tried to make it look like this was my

Florida - Page 16 -

fault. Like I asked for this. ... They wouldn't admit to me the whole time something went wrong. I feel like they treated me like nothing, like a nobody. ... No one should lose their life if you get pregnant. If I got pregnant again I would have the baby. I would tell them [women with an unplanned pregnancy] not to do it. I'll say whatever to make them have second thoughts so they don't do it. There is help out there. Finally, in November 2008, more than two full years after her death, the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner released the body of Shanice Denise Osbourne, and she was buried with dignity at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Fort Lauderdale. Police charged Gonzalez with falsification of records and practicing medicine without a license, both felonies. She could not be charged with homicide, because Florida law does not allow such charges to be brought in the death of a baby who is presumably not yet viable. However, an autopsy revealed that Shanice's lungs had breathed air before Gonzalez murdered her. An evaluation of the autopsy also revealed that Gonzalez' actions had caused her death. The A. GYN. abortion mill was about to be shut down by the city for repeated health and safety violations, but its owners surrendered its license voluntarily. It reopened with the same name (except without the period after the "GYN") a few miles away, because, as always, money is a great motivator. Gonzalez had operated another abortuary in Miramar, but shut it down when the State of Florida discovered that three of its employees were practicing medicine without a license. Both Gonzalez and co-owner Siomara Senises were arrested and charged with practicing medicine without a license in connection with a 2004 case in this clinic. Two abortionists at that clinic were unlicensed, and one of them, Kieron Nisbit, fled to Trinidad before he could be prosecuted. In that case, Gonzalez pleaded no contest and was placed on five years of probation beginning on December 20, 2007. On February 6, 2009, the Florida Board of Medicine unanimously voted to revoke abortionist Renelique's medical license, and found him guilty of medical malpractice regarding Sycloria's abortion. The Board also fined him $18,191.30 for committing gross medical malpractice and placed him on probation for two years. Renelique simply packed up and moved to New York. The Board of Professional Misconduct, an agency of the State of New York Board of Health, found that his actions in the Florida case constituted "professional misconduct." When reporter Arnold Diaz discovered that Renelique had moved to New York City in an attempt to work at another abortuary there, he went to interview him outside the Clinton Place Medical Center in the Bronx, where he is now working. As Diaz jogged behind Renelique asking him questions, the abortionist attacked Diaz, grabbed the microphone from his hand, and threw it into the street. Renelique claimed that Diaz was just after him because he is Black. Sycloria is now suing Renelique, Gonzalez, and co-owner Siomara Senises. References: Daniel Sone.

On October 20, 1989, the Board of Medicine of the Florida Department of Professional Regulation filed an administrative complaint against abortionist Marta Garcia-Lavin, charging her with five violations of Chapter 458 of the Florida Statutes. These charges were; aiding, assisting, procuring or advising an unlicensed person to practice medicine; by pre-signing blank prescription forms. In fact, abortionist Garcia-Levins signature was routinely forged on prescription forms; delegating professional responsibilities to a person when the licensee delegating such responsibilities knew or had reason to know that such person was not qualified by training, experience or licensure to perform them; procuring, aiding or abetting in the procuring of, an unlawful termination of pregnancy; failing to report to the Department a person whom the licensee knew was in violation of Chapter 458 or the rules of the Department or the Board of Medicine.

These violations took place during the time period December 1987 to March 1988, while GarciaLavin was working at the Roga Medical Center abortion mill in Miami. A review was carried out by a Board of Medicine investigator and a detective posing as a married couple. Two people practicing medicine at the abortion mill did not in fact possess medical licenses: Edgar Gonzalez and Conchita Chaves, who called herself Dr. Conchita. Gonzalez' license to practice medicine had been revoked by the Board of Medicine on February 21, 1983. In fact, the abortion mill itself was not licensed to operate, as required by the State of Florida. On June 25, 1988, Gonzalez performed an illegal third-trimester abortion on a twelve-year-old girl and butchered her uterus and intestines so badly that she required an emergency hysterectomy and a colostomy. The preborn child was also horribly mutilated, with its brain and stomach cut out, a leg and an arm cut off and the other leg nearly detached. The medical examiner's office determined that the child was nearly 28 weeks old. According to Dr. Nathan Hirsch, who saved the girls life, Gonzalez only called for assistance nine hours after the abortion, and the girl arrived at the hospital "within an hour of death." This is yet another case of abortionists willing to risk the very lives of women to cover their own rear ends. Reference: Florida Department of Professional Regulation's Case # 90-0249. Gross Negligence, Grand Larceny and Practicing Medicine without a License (17 incidents) Abortionist Paul S. Glassman's Florida medical license was revoked in 1981 following the death of Cycloria Vangates after one of his abortions. He later recovered his license on the condition that he undergo close supervision and not perform abortions. Glassman moved to Missouri, but his attorney revealed to the Florida Board of Osteopathic Medical Examiners that he performed 17 abortions while visiting in Fort Lauderdale, in an effort to prove the ban against his performing abortions was unnecessary. Glassman was also convicted in Florida in 1978 for felony grand larceny involving filing insurance claims for a faked automobile accident. Reference: Miami Herald, June 16, 1985.

On December 19, 1995, abortionist Luis Marti performed an abortion on 21-year-old Carolina Gutierrez, and repeatedly punctured her uterus. She left the abortion mill and soon developed a severe infection. Her repeated calls to the abortion mill requesting the doctor to phone her were ignored. Three days later she was rushed to the intensive care unit at Jackson Memorial Hospital where she was placed on a respirator and later had her hands and feet amputated. On February 5, 1996, Carolina finally died as fulminating infections ravaged her body. She was survived by her husband, Jose Linarte, and two children, Alba 5, and Darwin 2. Abortionist Marti fled town and the Maber Center abortion mill was closed for several weeks. The local media in Miami did a remarkable job covering this tragic story, but there was not a single word of concern or condolence from NOW, NARRAL, Planned Parenthood or any other pro-abortion group. References: Miami Herald, February 6, 1996; "Another Mother Dead from "Safe" Legal Abortion." Operation Rescue National Newsletter, February 15, 1996. Malpractice (5 incidents) Abortionist Orlando Zalvidar supervised another abortionist, Hipolito Barrerio, who aborted Myrta Baptiste at the Woman's Care Clinic abortion mill on December 18, 1982. She arrived at a nearby hospital in critical condition due to delay of transfer and bled to death from two uterine perforations; Zaldivar could not be reached for 7 hours. Her abortion was done by an unlicensed practitioner and hence was technically illegal by CDC standards. Zalvidar had his medical license revoked in 1983 after aborting a 12-year-old girl, who suffered lacerations and required hospitalization. Zalvidar's medical license was revoked again in 1987 after at least four other cases of egregious malpractice.

Conspiracy to Commit Murder [Hollywood] In September 1993, pro-abortion lawyer David Lusskin tried to force his girlfriend Kim Mascola to abort their preborn twins. She refused, so he hired a hit man to use a baseball bat to bash her in the stomach to make sure the babies were dead, and then to beat the mother over the head to murder her. Lusskin was convicted in 1995, and was released from prison October 1, 2000, after serving less than six years of a 14-year sentence. His trial was televised nationally on Court TV. Eight months after he was sentenced, Florida implemented tougher sentencing laws that would have required Lusskin to serve at least 11 years. Under current law, he would have had to stay in prison at least until 2006, said Jimmie Henry, chairman of the Florida Parole Commission. But because of more lenient laws in place at the time of his sentencing, Lusskin was able to earn a full, early release. Kim asked for leniency when Lusskin was originally sentenced, a plea that drew criticism because Lusskin's mother offered Kim $250,000 if she would help keep him out of prison. Today she says the money was tempting in light of the expense of caring for twins. Kim, who has since married, said Lusskin still hasn't paid any child support, despite a court order to pay $656 a month. It wasn't until after Lusskin was sentenced that Kim heard his audiotaped voice asking a prostitute to find someone to attack her with a baseball bat, if necessary. "I can't describe the revulsion I felt when I

Florida - Page 19 -

heard that," she said. Lusskin, who was disbarred after his conviction, could not be reached for comment after his release. He did not respond to a message left with the doorman of his apartment building in Aventura, and his brother, who is also a lawyer, declined to speak to a reporter or relay an interview request. "I am worried for my safety, but what can I do?" asked Kim. "They said I can get a restraining order against him. Against him? He tried to hire someone [to kill me]. What good would it do to have a restraining order against him?" Kim also said that "Referring to our unborn twins as "tumors that needed to be destroyed," David Lusskin would not and still does not take responsibility."

Rape, Sexual Misconduct, Incompetence and Negligence According to a suit by a female patient, abortionist Robert A. Lieberman sexually molested and then raped her. She said that she "was naked from the waist down and partially covered by a paper sheet on the examining table," and no nurse or assistant was present. Lieberman "began to make sexually oriented comments" and "began reaching under the sheet to touch her body." She begged him to stop and repeatedly pushed his hand away, but the abortionist pulled her to the end of the exam table and raped her. A complaint filed by the Florida Department of Professional Regulation alleges excessive prescriptions of controlled substances for female patients. He had an emergency license restriction in Florida 1988 following a complaint of sexual misconduct with a patient, and his license was later revoked in New York and Florida for substandard care, incompetence, or negligence as well as overprescribing controlled substances. Reference: Orange County Circuit Court Case #84-1969. Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW) On May 19, 1990, about 25 pro-lifers were picketing The Miami Herald when a pro-abortionist pointed a 9 mm handgun at them and yelled "This is my point of view this is your choice."

Sexual Abuse (5 incidents) [Coral Gables] In 1990, the Florida Medical Board disciplined male nurse Barry A. Hill, who was employed at the Today's Woman Medical Center abortion mill of Coral Gables, which is owned by Dr. Vladimar Rosenthal. On October 26, 1989, HRS inspector Diane Robie discovered two envelopes in the clinic containing pictures of several women undressed with their legs apart. According to Medical Board

Florida - Page 20 -

reports, the perineal area was the focal point of the photographer. Hill, the clinic's anesthetist, claimed ownership of the photographs. Several former employees of the clinic also accused Hill of fondling the breasts of several female patients while they were under anesthesia. These former clinic employees told news reporters that they were fired by clinic owner Rosenthal after he heard them complaining to a National Abortion Federation representative of the deplorable conditions at the clinic, and about Mr. Hill's activities. References: Florida Department of Professional Regulation Case #89-010853; Miami Herald, October 7, 1989. Sexual Assault (23 incidents) [Tamarac] In 1987 the Tamarac Police Department began an investigation into allegations of sexual assault by abortionist Jeffrey Goldenberg, who was was employed by the University Women's Center abortion mill in Tamarac. Goldenberg was never tried on charges developed during investigations, because he was killed in a traffic accident prior to his trial. The Florida Department of Professional Regulations indicated that the allegations against Goldenberg were substantiated.

Gross Negligence and Practicing Medicine Without a License (35 incidents) A 16-year-old girl went to Jose Casso, 71, for an abortion at his Hialeah abortion mill, but left with a slew of medical problems. She said I was bleeding until two days ago with a lot of pain and I had to go to Palmetto hospital and they said that I have an infection. ... When I woke up [from the abortion] I was crying and I told him, "Please get me my mom because I feel really bad." I told my mom that I felt like I was bleeding a lot. And my mom looked, and she saw a whole bunch of blood. Nearly 40 women have come forward to say that they were "treated" by Casso, who has been arrested twice in the past few months for practicing medicine without a license. Police say that they found illegal and expired medication at Casso's office along with stored human tissue. "There are multiple pieces of human fetuses," Captain Jerry Freeman of the Hialeah police said. "She [the anonymous girl] was hospitalized as a result of the complications and she was told by the doctors treating her that there is a possibility that she will never be able to have children as a result of what happened that day."

Abortionist Robelto A. Osborne had a history of botching abortions. In one case, he left parts of the dead preborn baby inside the mother. His license to practice medicine was revoked because of his record, but the call of big money was just too strong for him, and he continued to commit abortions illegally at the "A Gyn Diagnostic Center" abortion mill in Miramar. The Florida State Department of Health yanked Osborne's license and fined him $7,000 in August 2004 because he failed to perform necessary preoperative procedures, did not treat a severe uterine perforation, and did not return calls to his emergency line from a patient in extreme pain and bleeding. Also, leaving parts of killed preborn babies inside their mothers can cause infection, hemorrhaging and even death. On December 22, 2004, the abortionist turned himself in to Miramar police after a warrant was issued for his arrest, and he was charged with performing medicine without a license, a third-degree felony. He had previously been an abortionist at the A Woman's Choice Clinic in Miami Lakes. Police also issued a warrant for the arrest of Kieron A. Nisbet, who gave anesthesia to women having abortions at the same abortion mill despite not having a medical license. Police temporarily closed the abortuary on December 15, 2004, in order to execute a search warrant. They arrested Adieren Rojas and charged her with one count of the unlicensed practice of the healthcare profession. Miramar police Officer Bill Robertson said that Rojas was hired as a cleaning woman and was dispensing narcotics at the abortion mill, despite having no medical training or background at all. On January 5, 2005, Florida's Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA), which monitors medical clinics, filed a complaint against the A Gyn Diagnostic Center abortion mill, stating that it failed to ensure that only licensed doctors were performing various surgeries, including abortions, and that it was not keeping proper medical records. In its statement, the AHCA said that "Revoking the license of any health care facility is a serious action, but there is nothing more serious than a facility failing to take the appropriate basic steps to protect the health and safety of the people it serves."

He allowed fetal distress and tachycardia to continue for three hours, administered narcotic drugs which crossed the placenta to the unborn child, and failed to perform a C-section, resulting in the infant suffering a seizure disorder. The Florida Board of Medical Examiners recommended suspension and probation due to Whaley's 1984 conviction on conspiracy to manufacture cocaine. It ordered his medical license to be suspended for three years or until completion of the federal sentence, whichever was longer, with reinstatement of his license granted only under stipulations. Whaley, his brother, and the brother's female roommate reportedly were discovered by DEA agents in a drug laboratory in Whaley's basement.

Bribery, Criminal Abortions, Unlawful Practice of Medicine (10 incidents) and Grand Larceny Abortionist Luis Barquet was sentenced to 5 years probation for 10 counts of unlawful practice of medicine, grand larceny, and illegal abortions. According a Miami Herald article, he was an abortionist in Cuba before fleeing to Miami, where he was arrested for illegal abortions in 1961; in 1962 a study by the International Association of Chiefs of Police called him "a butcher;" he "made a fortune" performing illegal abortions "in back rooms and motels;" was ordered to leave the U.S. in 1963 but returned days later. He was indicted for bribery in New York in 1965 and remained a fugitive until his 1966 arrest in Florida. He successfully challenged Florida's abortion laws in 1972 and was arrested in 1976 on grounds that his abortion facility constituted a public nuisance. Barquet's son reopened the abortion mill while Barquet was in jail. Reference: Miami Herald, August 8, 1978. Death Threat On August 8, 1994, a pro-abortionist called a Catholic parish in the Miami Archdiocese and threatened to kill ten priests for each person killed in abortion clinics.

Burglary, Vandalism and Hate Crime On the night of December 28, 1992, pro-abortionists broke into Human Life International's Miami office, vandalized it, and stole $7,500 in equipment and money. The thieves also attempted to destroy a picture of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Reference: Arthur J. Brew. "Miami HLI Headquarters Robbed." The Wanderer, January 28, 1993, page 2. Burglary and Destruction of Property A group of pro-abortionists calling themselves "Pissed-Off Women" broke into the editorial offices of the student newspaper at the University of Miami on March 28th, 1994. They destroyed 10,000 copies of a pro-life advertising supplement that was to be distributed inside of newspapers the following week by pouring dye and paint on the copies. The group then faxed a statement to the student newspaper claiming responsibility. After the determined pro-lifers acquired 10,000 more copies of the insert and ran it anyway, the national office of the National Organization for Women (NOW) contacted the school and demanded that the newspaper's editorial staff be reprimanded for running the insert.

Fraud, Embezzlement, Malpractice (2 incidents) and Criminal Abortion Abortionist Edward Gordon lost his Florida license to practice medicine because he did not reveal his history of criminal abortion charges in Switzerland and because of his treatment of his wife; Gordon allegedly married an alcoholic millionaire patient, transferred millions of dollars of her assets into his foreign bank accounts, and "treated her alcoholism by giving her more liquor and twice injecting her with Thorazine;" his wife sued from her nursing home to recover her $8 million. During the case, the judge ruled that Gordon had schemed to siphon off his wife's assets. Reference: Miami Herald, October 10, 1983. Criminal Abortion (2 incidents) and Practicing Medicine Without a License Witch doctor Concepcion Rivera was arrested for practicing medicine without a license while on 30 months probation for committing two abortions using witch doctor techniques. Reference: Chicago Sun-Times, February 7, 1982. Gross Malpractice, Practicing Medicine Without a License (2 incidents) and Criminal Abortion (2 counts) Abortionist Egar Gonzalez had his medical license revoked in 1983 for committing an illegal abortion on a 12-year-old girl. He was subsequently arrested in 1988 for practicing without a medical license. He and Maria Chavez, who never had a medical license, agreed to perform a $450 abortion on an undercover police officer, who testified that the abortion mill was unsanitary. Gonzalez was also charged with allowing unlicensed persons to perform physical examinations. The Florida Board of Medical Examiners suspended the abortionist's medical license after he committed an illegal 28-week abortion on a 12-year old girl, who almost died. The girl was rushed to a nearby hospital where she underwent emergency hysterectomy and colostomy. A manslaughter charge against Gonzalez was dismissed because a fetus is "not a person."

Malpractice (2 incidents), Incompetence and Negligence The Florida Medical Board suspended abortionist Lewis Sidney Wolf's medical license following allegations of grossly underestimating gestational age, resulting in a perforated uterus, emergency surgery, and the removal of an ovary and fallopian tube in a 19-year-old patient, and perforation, shock, and hysterectomy in a 41-year-old woman within a three month period. Wolf whined that "I'm being blamed for something that wasn't my fault," and claimed that his clinic director gave him misinformation. The Medical Board imposed an emergency suspension of his Florida medical license in July 1991 due to alcohol/drug use/addiction and/or mental condition, and his medical license was suspended again in December 1991 for the same reasons. His license was suspended and he was put on probation in

Ranpura was placed on a 36-month probation and had a fine imposed upon him in 1989 by the Florida medical board because he was "found guilty of gross or repeated malpractice or failure to practice medicine with an acceptable level of care and skill; failing to keep written medical records justifying course of treatment of a patient; must take 50 hours of continuing medical education in anesthesia and pay $2,500 fine." The abortionist was also disciplined by Ohio and Pennsylvania 1991 due to the Florida board actions. Reference: Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Case #83CV-03-1398. Gross Negligence and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (10 counts) The Florida State Board of Health closed the Ladies First Medical Center abortion mill in 1989 after finding the following; Dead cockroaches in a sterilizing room; Unsanitary surgical gloves; Expired drugs; Bloody equipment, though abortions had not been performed in the two days before the inspection; A mop that reeked of dried blood in the sterilizer room; No hot water and no soap at the clinic's sinks; A device that is inserted into patients' noses during general anesthesia was found on the floor, still hooked to a hose that had been used on a patient; Supposedly sterile gauze pads that were stained yellow; Patient records left in plain view; Dirty socks on the recovery room shelf; and "Hundreds of medicines and medical supplies that had expired years ago and other medications with no expiration date, indicating they were manufactured before 1978."

The Florida Health Secretary described Ladies First as "just filthy, the worst I've seen." One of the inspectors told a reporter, "I spent years inspecting clinics in prisons all through Florida. And we wouldn't have waited a minute to close a prison clinic long before it ever looked this bad. I couldn't believe how bad this place was." A reporter called Ladies First and spoke with cleaning woman who said "I think the charges are really exaggerated. We did the best we can. It's not really that bad, the way they say it." The abortion mill was re-opened under stipulations. References: Miami Herald, October 2, 1989 and January 4, 1990; Christina Dunigan. "Back Alley Butchers vs Main Street Maimers."

Orlando, Florida
Aggravated Battery on a Pregnant Woman, Resisting Arrest and Failure to Appear Abortionist Randall B. Whitney works at the Orlando Womens Center, which is owned by fellow abortionist James Pendergraft, who has been in constant trouble with the law and has had his medical license suspended four times. Whitney has also had his medical license suspended in the past and chose to close his Daytona Beach abortion clinic rather than comply with state regulators. On March 27, 2010, abortionist Whitney slapped a patient while she was on the operating table. He admitted that he had struck her and was charged, ironically enough, with aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. He failed to appear at his court hearing, and Judge John Adams issued a warrant for his arrest on September 10. He began sleeping in his car to avoid arrest. On September 22, pro-lifers outside the abortion mill saw Whitney walk in, and they called the police, who arrested him. Whitney claimed that the arrest was illegal because he was with a patient, but this was not true. Police charged him with resisting arrest without violence, a charge commonly levied when someone lies to the police. Whitney, who has boasted of the tens of thousands of abortions he had done, is obviously concerned that his source of easy income will eventually dry up. He said that It's going to be an ugly fight in this country. These Republican do-gooders and pro-lifers don't have a clue. I sleep well. I have no concerns about what might have been if a fetus lived." Steven Ertelt. Florida Abortion Practitioner Stops Abortions at Daytona Beach Facility. LifeNews.com, September 4, 2006. Battery According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Orlando, Florida. On August 29, 2007, Patte Smith and Mary Jo Gardner were standing outside James Scott Pendergraft's notorious Orlando Women's Center abortion mill. Nelson Kraucak and his wife approached the clinic, and Patte approached them and spoke to them. They went into the abortion mill, and then Kraucak emerged alone. He went to his car, then approached her and grabbed for her video camera. She turned away from him, but he wrapped his arms around her. When he was not successful in his attempt to steal Patte's camera, he knocked her down and viciously kicked her while she was lying on the sidewalk. The police report was written by Orlando Police Officer Charles Mays, who was on duty as a security guard at the abortion mill at the time of the attack. He did not even bother to question Kraucak. It was months before the state attorney's office finally filed battery charges against Kraucak on December 21, 2007. And, of course, the media completely ignored the attack on Patte Smith. There was not even a blurb in the local newspapers. Reference: Lynn Vincent. "See No Evil: Violence Against Pro-Life Activists Goes Unreported by the Mainstream Media."

Conspiracy, Attempted Extortion, Mail Fraud, Malpractice and Impeding Justice This case demonstrates how far pro-abortionists will carry their lies in order to play the victim and smear pro-lifers. Abortionist James Scott Pendergraft and his real estate adviser, Michael Spielvogel, were indicted in Federal court on June 13, 2000, for conspiring to extort millions of dollars from Marion County government by making false and fraudulent statements in a civil lawsuit Pendergraft filed in December 1998. That suit named city officials and a dozen pro-lifers as defendants, alleging that the city and county failed to provide adequate protection to his Ocala Women's Center abortion mill. U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges dismissed the suit in December 1999, after Pendergraft and attorney Roy Lucas failed to pursue it. The new criminal indictment alleges Pendergraft and Spielvogel lied in that suit by saying County Commissioner Larry Cretul threatened Spielvogel and the abortion facility. The indictment also alleges that Pendergraft and Spielvogel, through Lucas, threatened to bankrupt the county with a $100 million lawsuit. The indictment calls statements Spielvogel made against Cretul in sworn affidavits "false, fictitious and libelous," and calls the entire civil suit "a scheme to extort the payment of money from Marion County." In February 1999, Spielvogel signed an affidavit alleging that Cretul said in a telephone conversation that he knew Spielvogel's wife worked for Pendergraft and that he (Cretul) "wouldn't send any of his family members to Ocala if he were in my situation." The same affidavit also alleges that Cretul "pointedly and threateningly reminded (Spielvogel) of the earlier fire bombings in Ocala at (a previous abortion) clinic that had been twice destroyed by 'unsolved' arson," and that "it's not an 'if,' but a 'when' that this new clinic is bombed that concerned him." Spielvogel also alleged in the affidavit that Cretul referred to a Birmingham, Alabama abortion mill bombing that killed one man and seriously wounded a nurse, and said it was "nothing compared to what will happen in Ocala." In other words, this was another case of an abortionist lying about pro-life violence in order to

Florida - Page 27 -

accomplish his goals. The prosecution's case centered on threats that Spielvogel claimed were made to him in a telephone call by county Commissioner Larry Cretul. According to Spielvogel, Cretul said it was not a matter of "if" but "when" Pendergraft's abortion facility would be bombed. Spielvogel admitted in court that he made up the remarks attributed to Cretul and that he faked a telephone conversation in front of Pendergraft so the abortionist would think that Cretul had made the threats. The affidavit went on to state that Pendergraft was in the room with Spielvogel when he allegedly spoke with Cretul, and could attest to Spielvogel's "terror and reaction." The criminal indictment alleges Pendergraft and Spielvogel repeated those statements in March 1998, in a letter to Virgil "Bill" Wright III, the attorney who represented the county in the civil case, and in an injunction demand filed days later in federal court. Spielvogel also allegedly repeated the comments about Cretul at a meeting in Wright's office in March 1998, at which time Pendergraft said he was present at Spielvogel's home during the alleged telephone conversation between Spielvogel and Cretul. At that meeting, Pendergraft and his attorney, Lucas, reportedly said they would "bankrupt Marion County, and would ask for a jury verdict of more than $100 million." Pendergraft added that "We will bankrupt the county. And I promise you I'll put a statue of myself, that Dr. Pendergraft brought freedom to Ocala." A federal grand jury indicted Pendergraft and Spielvogel on June 13, 2000, charging them with one count each of conspiracy to commit extortion, lying under oath and mail fraud. Spielvogel faced one additional count each of offering false testimony and making false statements to FBI investigators. Marti MacKenzie, Pendergraft's Orlando-based spokeswoman, sniveled that "From day one, Ocala was an extremely hostile environment, from the government to the fundamentalists. He [Pendergraft] will fight this battle as he has previous battles." Pendergraft used advertising and marketing techniques, including highway billboards, so flamboyant they angered even his fellow abortion clinic owners. "He's as ruthless as I've ever seen," Susan Hill, president of the National Women's Health Organization (NWHO), told Business Week magazine. "Everybody is really nervous about him," added Margaret Gifford, owner of a Tampa abortuary. Speaking about the fact that Pendergraft has opened five abortuaries in just five years she told Business Week, "When somebody opens that many clinics so fast, corners are going to be cut." Pro-abortionists vocally supported Pendergraft during his trial. Pendergraft himself whined that "For all people who perform abortion, this should be a serious wakeup call. It will send a chilling effect across the entire nation ... that something as scary as this can happen to anyone who is bringing a legitimate lawsuit." During Pendergraft's trial, pro-aborts hung a large balloon and pro-abortion banner outside his Ocala Women's Center abortion mill, which is near the federal courthouse on a main thoroughfare. The messages, including dozens of national and local pro-abortion signatories, read in part, "Stop attacking abortion providers. Dr. Pendergraft is innocent." Judge W. Terrell Hodges ordered the defense to remove these objects, saying "If this is an attempt to influence the jury, it has very serious consequences. How can that be interpreted, other than an attempt to influence the jury?" As the balloon and banners were taken down, pro-aborts sniveled that the judge was trampling on their First Amendment rights. The National Organization for Women (NOW) was particularly vocal in its support of Pendergraft, labeling his prosecution "government-sponsored harassment." NOW said Pendergraft was the victim of a network of local anti-abortion officials, and that the charges against the doctor "grew out of [his] civil suit against Marion County and the town of Ocala for their failure to protect employees and patients at his local facility." According to NOW, Pendergraft was "met with hostility from the start in Ocala." NOW also claimed that because of Pendergraft's December suit and the county's purposeful attempts to "prevent him from providing reproductive health services in the state" the county targeted him for reprisal. But Christian Communication Network Director Gary McCullough said NOW's only interest in the

Florida - Page 28 -

Pendergraft case stemmed from its attempts to further the abortion-rights cause. He said Obviously, what they're saying is ... look, this guy's an abortionist and we need to come to his defense. It's a little sad from their perspective. It's an entirely political move. This is a criminal act he's charged with. Why is it that NOW all of a sudden says this is our great hero, this is a person who's being persecuted, when the charges [of extortion] aren't even related to his abortion clinics. It's definitely political. NOW officials wisely did not return telephone calls for comment. Tracy Stern, a representative of Refuse & Resist, a violent New York-based pro-abortion group, said that "By the government going ahead with this case, it's a clear indication that they are contributing to the intimidating climate against abortion providers." The judge was angered to find a packet of pro-abortion literature delivered to his chambers during a break toward the end of the proceedings one day. He scolded the defense attorneys for allowing a pro-abortion Pendergraft supporter to deliver the pamphlets. FBI agents and U.S. Marshals later surrounded a woman suspected of distributing the pro-abortion materials and chided her. "That's what you call federal-agent intimidation," she whined. Jacob Rose, one of Pendergraft's two lawyers, told the jury "You will see that Dr. Pendergraft is being persecuted for what he does. Pendergraft is not guilty of any wrongdoing, and those who are guilty are those who conspired to get him." On February 1, 2001, Pendergraft was convicted in federal court of all charges against him conspiracy, attempted extortion and mail fraud. He was sentenced to 46 months in prison. Spielvogel was convicted of the same charges, in addition to lying to the FBI and filing a false statement. He was sentenced to serve 41 months in prison. However, Senior U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges allowed both men to remain free until directed to report to a U.S. Marshal. Jurors deliberated eight hours over a two-day period before reaching their verdict in U.S. District Court. Neither Pendergraft nor Spielvogel showed any emotion when the verdicts were read. Pendergraft claimed that "I'm disappointed in the justice system as far as saying that I'm guilty, but I will continue to fight that and in the interim I will take care of women in their most difficult time." Looking for any excuse to get their client exonerated, Pendergraft's lawyers Jacob Rose and Larry Colleton then claimed federal prosecutors had a pro-life agenda and made a motion asking for a new trial. They wrote in their appeal that "The genesis of the prosecution was strong anti-abortion sentiment in Marion County." They also alleged "... outrageous government conduct counter to universal sense of justice," and that the trial itself had "an anti-abortion agenda driven by members of the community." Just two weeks after he was convicted of extortion, conspiracy and mail fraud in Federal court, Ladye Williamson sued Pendergraft and the Orlando Women's Center abortion mill, alleging Pendergraft failed to diagnose a pregnancy outside Williamson's uterus, and that he perforated her uterus during the second of two attempted abortions last April. The botched abortion led to an emergency hysterectomy, the lawsuit said. After the judge in the case denied Pendergraft's bail request, the abortionist whined that "He's had his mind made up for a long time," and said he is taking steps to see that his five abortion mills, including the Ocala Women's Center, remain open if he goes to prison. "The clinics will all remain open," he said. Pendergraft, who is Black, tried hard to play the race card in his desperate attempts to avoid responsibility for his actions. He claimed that, during the trial by Assistant U.S. Attorney Mark Devereaux, that Devereaux, who is White, made racist remarks in his closing argument by referring to Pendergraft as a man who "shucks and jives" when asked a question. Judge Hodges noted that Pendergraft's lawyers waited until the next day to object to the comment. The remark also did not strike him as racially motivated, Hodges wrote. "At the time the challenged statement was uttered by the

Florida - Page 29 -

prosecutor, it made no impression on me that it might be interpreted as a racial slur or racial stereotyping," he wrote, "otherwise I would have immediately interrupted with a heavy hand. Rather I understood the prosecutor merely to be suggesting that during cross examination the Defendant Pendergraft was evasive and sometimes deceptive, a perfectly valid argument." In a footnote to that statement, Hodges notes that he found at the May sentencing hearing "that the Defendant's deceptive (trial) testimony constituted an obstruction of justice." Hodges went on to discuss the origins of the phrase "shuck and jive," saying that it appears to be rooted in Black history, but "there is no reason to believe that the prosecutor intended his use of that expression as a racial stereotype." In another footnote, Hodges cited the lyrics of a 1978 song recorded by Art Garfunkel, "Mr. Shuck 'n' Jive," as an example of the phrase not having racial connotations. Hodges concludes that Devereaux didn't intend the phrase to be a racial remark, and that there was no reason to believe it prejudiced the jury against Pendergraft. In a decision issued July 17, 2001, 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Stanley F. Birch Jr. denied Pendergraft's request to remain free on bond during his appeal. Pendergraft spokeswoman Marti Mackenzie said once again that even if he goes to prison, Pendergraft is determined to keep all five of his abortion businesses operating, Mackenzie said. "There's no question about that," she said. Pendergraft's co-defendant, Michael Spielvogel, began serving his own 41-month sentence at a federal prison camp at Eglin Air Force Base near Fort Walton Beach in July 2001. Finally ending the saga, a three-judge panel of the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals rejected on July 25, 2001 a motion to allow Pendergraft to remain free on bond while he appeals his conviction on attempted extortion, conspiracy and mail fraud charges. He reported to a federal minimum-security prison camp in Atlanta to begin serving his sentence. Bruce Rogow said he was "surprised and disappointed" by the appellate court's refusal to allow Pendergraft to stay out of prison while he appeals his case. "We will continue to work to reverse the conviction and secure his release," Rogow said. Marti Mackenzie said "He has an extensive corporation set up, and nothing is going to change. He has doctors in place who have been working in the clinics a long time. ... "I know him to be a man of the utmost integrity. He has been, as far as I am concerned, slandered in the courtroom." As it turned out, Pendergraft strolled out of jail on February 20, 2002, having served less than seven months of his sentence, while his conviction was reviewed by a federal appeals court. The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta issued an order directing the United States District Court in Ocala to order Pendergraft and Spielvogel freed pending the outcome of their appeals, subject to conditions to be set by the District Court. Senior U.S. District Judge William Terrell Hodges later issued an order that the two men be freed, subject to the same bond conditions they were under before trial. His publicist, Marti Mackenzie, boasted that "I think he will be back to work very quickly." Pendergraft's distractions finally worked when, in 2002, a federal appeals court overturned his and Speilvogel's convictions, saying that the trial court erred and the U.S. attorney's office used racial slurs and committed other misconduct in closing arguments. Finally, the four-year legal saga wound up when, on June 8, 2004, Pendergraft was allowed to plead guilty to one count of impeding justice for supporting Michael Spielvogel, whom he knew was lying. Despite all of this, Pendergraft's abortion clinic did open in Ocala and has been doing business using other doctors even as he served time in prison. References.

Aggravated Child Abuse, Death Threat, and Aggravated Assault with a Firearm

Florida - Page 31 -

On August 1, 2000, Glenda Diane Dowis attempted to force her 16-year-old daughter, Brittany Dowis, to have an abortion. Brittany had become pregnant by 23-year-old Jeffrey Watson, who said he wanted to support her and keep the baby. However, the mother cut off all communication between them and threatened to charge Watson with statutory rape. The mother threatened that she would beat Brittany until she miscarried if she refused to kill her preborn child. Finally, Dowis pointed the pistol at the girl's belly and said "You're going to have it, you're going to have the abortion, or I'm going to kill you," and then drove her 67 miles to the Aware Woman abortion mill, just Southwest of West Palm Beach. When they got to the abortion clinic, Dowis told a nurse in the waiting room, "If my daughter doesn't have this abortion, I'm going to blow her brains out." Brittany wrote on a form that her mother was forcing to have an abortion, and the abortuary staff intervened and called the police, who arrested her and charged her with one count of false imprisonment and one count of domestic assault. They confiscated a loaded .38-caliber revolver from her car and noted that the girl's mother had scheduled the appointment at the abortuary. On August 4th, Palm Beach County Circuit Judge Nelson Bailey dropped the false imprisonment and domestic assault charges at the request of the State Attorney's Office, and then turned her over to St. Lucie County authorities, who issued warrants charging her with aggravated child abuse and aggravated assault with a firearm. Predictably, pro-aborts milked the incident for all it was worth. Lillian Tamayo, CEO of Planned Parenthood of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast area, said that parental notification "does nothing to stop teen pregnancy and abortion. The visual image of a mother holding a daughter at gunpoint to have an abortion is equally as reprehensible as mother holding a daughter at gunpoint to have a baby. Laws mandating parental consent or notification just lead to more out-of-wedlock babies, more children in foster care and less parental involvement." Dowis was not given any jail time after pleading no contest to aggravated assault and child abuse, both third-degree felonies, on January 7, 2001. Her daughter refused to cooperate since she did not want her mother jailed. Dowis was sentenced to two years of house arrest and three years probation. She will not have a criminal record as part of the plea-bargain. References. Florida Sun- Sentinel "Mom Faces New Charges After Threatening Daughter to Have Abortion." August 3, 2000. Steve Friess.

Robbery (4 counts), Assault (3 counts), Conspiracy and Destruction of Property (2 counts) According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Palm Beach, Florida. In almost every case involving cases of domestic "pro-choice" violence, the boyfriend or husband attacks the pregnant woman and injures her. This time, a pregnant "pro-choice" woman planned to physically attack her boyfriend for not paying for an abortion. Indolina Perez was pregnant by her boyfriend Jorge T. Mateo. She demanded that he pay for an abortion, but he refused. So Perez decided to get some friends to help her rob him of the money she needed. Perez recruited her neighbor Sandra Chavez and two men, Eric Zapata and Cristobal Pineda, to help her carry out her plan. On Sunday, June 14, 2009, Perez put her plan into action. Early in the morning, at about 3:30, Chavez told Mateo that she would have sex with him at a motel. The two left the nightclub in Mateo's car, with Chavez driving. She pulled over, and a van containing Zapata and Pineda pulled up behind them. The two men jumped out of the van, dragged Mateo from the car, and began to punch and kick him. They stole his gold necklace, gold charm, gold ring, and wallet, along with $200. The men then stole Mateo's car and drove off, leaving the van on the side of the road. They abandoned the car after trashing it. Chavez admitted to the crimes, and named Indolina Perez as the mastermind, the report said. Police officers found Mateo's necklace and charm at Zapata's home and the ring at Pineda's home. Perez was charged with robbery and conspiracy. Chavez, Pineda and Zapata were all charged with robbery. Reference: Eliot Kleinberg. "Greenacres Woman Charged with Masterminding Attack on Boyfriend Who Allegedly Wouldn't Pay for Abortion." The Palm Beach Post, June 15, 2009. Forced Abortion and Malpractice On March 29, 1997, a young mother went to the Aware Woman Center for Choice for an abortion. Soon after the abortion began, she felt piercing pain in her abdomen. She begged the abortionist to stop. She yelled "Call an ambulance! Take me to the hospital!" The abortionist, William P. Egherman, refused. When she tried to get up, Egherman ordered his assistants to hold her down. Four pairs of hands gripped her arms and legs, rendering her immobile, and continued the abortion. She was eventually taken by ambulance to an emergency room where it was discovered that Egherman had perforated her uterus and lacerated her colon. Follow-up surgery was required to remove her now-dead

Florida - Page 33 -

baby and repair her internal organs. The young woman, known in court documents as "Jane Doe," filed suit against Egherman and the owners of the abortion mill, charging that their actions violated the Freedom of Access of Clinic Entrances Act (FACE). The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals agreed that FACE could also be used against people who force women to have abortion. It wrote "If the defendants restrained Roe for the purpose of preventing her from obtaining any [reproductive health services], then she has adequately pleaded a violation of FACE." The Eleventh Circuit also ruled that a woman suing for an unwanted abortion can remain anonymous. Michael Hirsh of Kennesaw, Georgia, the lead attorney in the groundbreaking case of Jane Roe II v. Aware Woman Center For Choice, Inc., said that "We are most pleased that the Court has allowed my client to retain her cloak of anonymity. It was surprising that representatives of the abortion industry sought to strip away my client's privacy. It's just the opposite of what they've been saying for 28 years." To be sure, the pro-abortionists only believe in the "right to privacy" when it is to their advantage.

Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor (2 counts) [Lantana] This is another of many cases of abortion mills being the molester's best friend that are documented in this database. 27-year-old Andrew Foster was a drama teacher at Santaluces High School when he started to have sex with several of his underaged female students at the school. Foster got one of the students pregnant and signed a consent form so she could have an abortion. The abortion mill employees asked no questions. The pregnant girl contacted the authorities when she found out he was having sex with other students. Foster fled to Immokalee, Florida, where he was arrested on September 21, 2007. Foster also sent pornographic photos and videos of himself to the cell phones of teenaged girls, and took them on trips that he said were school-related, but that one school official say were not. Prosecutor Daliah Weiss said that "There seems to be a pattern here of grooming these students, and because he's in a position of custodial authority, they look up to him and are more apt to do what he wants." Foster was charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor, child abuse, transmission of pornography by electronic device and transmission of material harmful to minors. Foster pleaded guilty to two counts of unlawful sexual activity with a minor, which requires him to register as a sex offender. On November 7, 2008, Circuit Judge Lucy Chernow Brown sentenced him to five years in prison, to be followed by 10 years of stringent sex offender probation. He will also be required to register as a sex offender. References: Missy Diaz. "Drama Teacher Accused of Sex With Student is Jailed Indefinitely."

Gross Malpractice, Incompetence, Malpractice and Illegal Disposal of Medical Waste Abortionist Robert Michael Livingston became popular for his tearful tale of a teen patient whose death he witnessed in 1959 from a botched illegal abortion prompted him to champion the legalization of abortion. A restaurant owner called the police in October 1992 when he caught Livingston putting ten fetuses and some bags of medical waste in his restaurant dumpster. Livingston said the restaurant owner was lying: "I wouldn't believe him if his tongue were notarized," and said he was just taking out ordinary trash. The abortionist and his partner, Stephen Jaffe, were indicted in 1975 for arranging an illegal adoption. Livingston's New Jersey medical license was suspended in 1983 "after the death of an infant whose mother received prenatal care from a midwife Livingston employed." The Florida medical board put him on probation in 1985 over the New Jersey board action. Other suits alleged that he used intoxicants, employed unlicensed persons to perform work which legally may be done only by licensed persons, gross malpractice, and professional incompetency.

Panama City, Florida

Sexual Battery (6 incidents) This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation. Pro-choice principal David Creel lived in Georgia, and in 1976 moved to Panama City, Florida and became a teacher at Mosley and Bay High Schools before becoming Assistant Principal at Jinks Middle School in 1983. Then, he became principal of the New Horizons Learning Center when it opened in 1997. On October 9, 2006, a woman e-mailed members of the School Board, claiming that Creel had started to have sex with her in 1982, when she was only 15 and attending Bay High School. She became pregnant, and Creel paid her to have an abortion. After graduation, she said he helped her get a job at Everitt Middle School. The woman, who was not identified because she was the victim of an alleged sexual battery, wrote that You have a child molester as a principal. His lack of judgment in having a relationship with students is unacceptable. I must face a demon that has ruled me for many, many years. I just thought it was my responsibility to inform you of this man's actions and his horrible secrets that have ruined part of my life and has gotten away with it.

Superintendent James McCalister said that Two years earlier, she came in as a co-worker when I was assistant principal at Everitt Middle School. She said, Did you know I liked Mr. Creel (when I was in school)?' I said I had no idea. So I called him into my office and said, I've got this lady that said this happened.' He denied it. McCalister said he called Creel into his office again and confronted him with the allegations of the affair, and said that He denied the affair. I said we would have to do some investigation on this. But Creel signed a job termination form on October 12, 2006, and admitted to the affair three days later in a letter provided to the Department of Education. Soon after, Creel resigned his position and on February 12, 2007, the Florida Education Practices Commission revoked his teachers' license, noting that Creel had also had sex with a second student. The Education Practices Commission noted that Creel did not wish to contest the charges. References: Principal Pleads No Contest to Sex Allegations .

Pensacola, Florida
First-Degree Premeditated Murder According to official police documents and media reports, the following events occurred in and around Pensacola, Florida. Zachary Littleton, a 25-year-old petty officer third class based in Pensacola, had a tricky problem on his hands. He was married with a child but his girlfriend, Samira Watkins, was pregnant. He wanted to cover up his adultery, and so demanded that she have an abortion, but she refused. So he decided to solve his "problem" permanently. On the evening October 29, 2009, Samira left her shift at the McDonald's restaurant on Pine Forest Road to see Littleton. Her sister Sylvia said that Samira was going to talk to him about her pregnancy. Littleton murdered her, stuffed her body into a small duffel bag, and dumped it in Bayou Grande. Two men on a watercraft discovered her body about a week later, on November 3. Her face was completely covered in several layers of duct tape. Littleton was charged with first-degree premeditated murder and lodged without bond at Escambia County Jail. References: Steven Ertelt.

Pensacola News-Journal, January 16, 2010. Attempted Murder (2 incidents), Stalking (5 incidents) and Harassment (8 incidents) [Mary Esther] In September 1994, pro-abortionists tampered with Randy and Vicky Hinesley's car, loosening the lug nuts down to the last threads in the middle of the night. The following month, they tampered with the Hinesley's van, removing a tie rod, which is a part of the steering mechanism. This would have caused failure of the steering when the van was being driven. During the period 1991 to 1994, pro-abortionist Linda George stalked Randy Hinesley and several of

Florida - Page 36 -

his employees. Hinesley owns a maintenance company, so he and his employees go from site-to-site to do maintenance work. George learned where some of the sites were and sent pornographic material to the sites allegedly "courtesy" of Hinesley. Also, a large number of porno subscriptions and mail-order merchandise items, including sex toys, showed up at the Hinesley home all charged to the Hinesleys. George also went to the Hinesley's home when she knew that nobody was there. She attempted to disguise herself with a trench coat, hood, and shades. She was arrested in Spring 1994.

"Abortion-Related Violence and Alleged Violence: An Investigative Report by Life Research Institute," January 5, 1995. Attempted Murder [Fort Walton Beach] In the Summer of 1991, Bob Brady, Randy and Vicky Hinesley, and the Hinesley's two children, ages 2 and 3, were picketing on a public sidewalk at the Family Planning, Inc. abortion mill. Pro-abortionist Robin Howser charged her car into these pro-lifers where the clinic driveway crossed the sidewalk. If Randy had not pushed the baby carriage out of the way, his children would have been crushed. Even though there were plenty of witnesses, and even though pro-lifers wrote down the license plate of the vehicle, police did not bother to investigate for a week, and then arrested Howser for reckless driving. Then the state attorney general pressured the pro-lifers to ask for a reduced charge. Fearing that nothing would be done if they did not comply, the pro-lifers agreed. Then, of course, the attorney general's office claimed that it did not have the resources to prosecute such a "trivial" charge, and all charges were dropped. Remember that this person drove down a crowded sidewalk and attempted to kill a group of pro-lifers. References: Randy Hinesley, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, Life Research Institute, December 31, 1994; Lynn K. Murphy. "Abortion-Related Violence and Alleged Violence: An Investigative Report by Life Research Institute," January 5, 1995. Illegal Pornography, Gambling, Gross Negligence (2 incidents) and Illegal Distribution of Drugs (2 incidents) Abortionist George Wayne Patterson was murdered outside a porn theater he'd been frequenting regularly for years on August 20th, 1993. Patterson, who owned four abortion mills in Pensacola and Ft. Walton Beach in Florida, and in Bay City and Mobile in Alabama, was not only addicted to pornography and gambling, but was deeply in debt. He was also the defendant in several lawsuits: Two by the families of women who died after he attempted abortions on them, the other for a botched abortion. One of these women, Janyth Caldwell, died in 1986, about a month after Patterson attempted an abortion on her; she was scheduled to undergo a hysterectomy due to the botched abortion, but collapsed while waiting for the procedure and died during emergency surgery. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATFE) expressed the suspicion that the firebombing of his Bay City Women's Medical Center abortion mill was "an inside job." Neighbors described the abortionist as "either mentally disturbed or on some sort of drug" and "the strangest man I've ever met in my life," due to his behavior, such as pacing outdoors at night while gesticulating and talking to himself, sitting in the parking lot alone at night talking to himself, and

Florida - Page 37 -

ranting "I trusted you! I trusted you!" in a stairwell while alone. A news article said that "The Midtown's lobby is permeated by the heavy smell of disinfectant and the sounds of moaning women." Patterson had been forced to close his abortion mill in Mississippi after two employees were arrested for illegally distributing drugs. After this incident, he surrendered his Mississippi Medical License and his federal license to dispense drugs. In 1985, a year before Janyth Caldwell's death due to one of his abortions, Patterson carried no medical malpractice insurance and had declared bankruptcy.

Assault (6 incidents) and Destruction of Property [Fort Walton Beach] During a rescue at Family Planning, Inc., pro-abortionist Darryl Day came out of the clinic, shoved some of the pro-lifers, and punched an elderly woman. When pro-lifers videotaped Day, he struck Vicky Hinesley with his fist and destroyed her camera. Day tried to escape the scene; he got in his truck, and in his flight from the scene he ran over the ankles of a 17-year-old boy. Reference: Randy Hinesley, telephone conversation with Lynn K.

Forced Abortion Nikki Schmitz, 33, who is white and was dating a black man, sued her employer, the Fisher-Pou Funeral Home, for discrimination, intentional infliction of emotional distress and invasion of privacy. On February 9, 2001, a jury found that supervisors at Fisher-Pou invaded Schmitz's privacy and subjected her to "extreme and outrageous" behavior. Schmitz was fired in 1995 from her job as a telemarketer for the funeral home because she dated a black man. During the trial, three former employees joined Schmitz in testifying that Fisher-Pou employees used racial slurs daily. Once supervisor badgered her to get an abortion because her preborn baby was biracial. Employees also testified that a former supervisor at the funeral home, Deborah Flanagan, arranged to borrow money from another person to pay for an abortion, drove Schmitz to the clinic where she had the abortion, then had Schmitz spend the night at her house. The defense argued that Flanagan was acting as Schmitz's friend in all of those efforts, and that Schmitz had the abortion at a time when she was trying to end an abusive relationship. The jury decided to award Schmitz $166,250 in compensatory damages and $300,000 in punitive damages.

Destruction of Property and Intimidation On the evening of September 14, 1994 two pro-lifers, Vicky Conroy and Sharon Glass, were parked near the Ladies Center abortuary. A policeman out of uniform, without showing identification, pulled a gun and a flashlight, and while shining the flashlight in Sharon's face, broke her car window. Charlie DeCosta of police internal affairs was very hostile when asked who the assailant was, but finally gave his name as Wayne Todd. DeCosta said that he had commended Todd for the way he handled the situation and said that every time she (Vicky) was out there, she could expect the same. The police would not let the pro-lifers file a complaint. Reference: Vicky Conroy, letter to Lynn K. Murphy, November 17, 1994. Vandalism (3 incidents) and Hate Crime On May 7, 1993, pro-abortionists desecrated the graves of two aborted children and destroyed the world-famous pro-life statue "Rachel Mourning." The head of the statue was knocked completely off its shoulders. An upside-down cross [a symbol of Satanism] was thrust into the ground nearby.

Call 408-7100. Paid for by Our Lady of Lourdes Parish." The cost of the billboard was $9,000 per year. Pro-choicers, who cannot stand to have any choice promoted except for abortion, vandalized the

billboard, covering the babys face and the entire message with paint on the night of December 19, 2003. Terry Angley, the parish Respect Life representative, said that "That is a violation of freedom of speech and religion. That would make it a hate crime." Tulla Hunt, director of client relations for the pregnancy hotline, said that "The important parts of the sign, such as the baby's face, the phone number, and the church's name were covered with paint. It also looked like someone splashed buckets of red paint on the sign. It was later entirely covered with brown paint, so it is now a blank sign." Reference: Tommy McIntyre.

First-Degree Murder (22 counts), Kidnapping (12 counts), Assault with a Deadly Weapon, Assault (6 incidents), Reckless Endangerment, Bribery and Theft (12 incidents) Gerald Eugene Stano had many problems as a child. As a teenager, he was arrested for sounding a false fire alarm and for throwing large rocks at cars from a highway overpass. He also repeatedly stole money from members of his family and fellow students. On one occasion, he paid off members of his high school track team to throw a race so he could finish first. During his first job at a local hospital, he was fired for stealing money from other employee's purses. In the early 1970s, Stano moved to New Jersey and began to date a mentally handicapped girl, whom he impregnated. He had no trouble paying for an abortion for her. He soon became addicted to drugs and alcohol and was fired from several more jobs for theft. He was married in 1975, but the marriage only lasted six months because he beat his wife frequently. In December 1973, Stano picked up 17-year-old hitchhiker Cathy Lee Scharf of Port Orange, Florida. He stabbed her to death and dumped her body in a remote area of Broward County. In July 1975, he murdered 16-year-old Linda Hamilton, and in January 1976, he killed 24-year-old Nancy Heard. Later in 1976, he murdered Ramona Ecker and Ramona Neal. In February 1980, Stano stabbed 20-year-old Mary Carol Maher to death and dumped her body in an abandoned area near the Daytona Beach Airport. On February 25, he hired a prostitute, Toni Van Haddocks, and murdered her by stabbing her repeatedly in the head. On March 25, 1980, he hired another prostitute and slashed her thigh with a knife during an argument. This woman was the person who was responsible for his identification and arrest. On April 1, 1980, Stano was brought in for questioning and confessed to the slashing of the prostitute. He also confessed to the killing of Mary Carol Maher, saying Well, I carry this knife under the seat. So I pulled it out and I just hit her as hard as I could. I stabbed her several times in the chest. She opened the door and tried to get out, but I cut her on the leg and pulled her back in. I shut the door, she fell forward and hit her head against the dashboard and started gurgling. I stabbed her a couple more times in the back, because she was messing up my car. She just went limp. So I took her. This same day, Stano confessed to the murder of Toni Van Haddocks. Finally, Stano pleaded guilty to the murders of Mary Carol Maher, Toni Van Haddocks and Nancy

Heard, and his confessions in many other murder cases would be entered into the court record. On September 2, 1981, Judge S. James Foxman sentenced him to three consecutive life sentences. Judge Foxman said "Mr. Stano, the information before me, these three cases, lead me to believe that the death sentence may very well have been appropriate in any of those three cases. Perhaps all of them. I reluctantly agreed not to sentence you to death, to eliminate the possibility of the death penalty." Stano looked forward to being a kind of celebrity in prison, but the other inmates pretty much ignored him, and this enraged him. So, in order to get more fame among the other prisoners, he contacted detectives in order to give them more details on his other murders. During the subsequent interviews, he confessed to the murders of Cathy Lee Scharf, 24-year-old Susan Bickrest, 23-year-old Mary Muldoon, 19-year-old Janine Ligotino, 17-year-old Ann Arceneaux, 17-year-old Barbara Ann Baur, 34-year-old Bonnie Hughes, 18-year-old Diana Valleck, 21-year-old Emily Branch, 17-year-old Christina Goodson, 23-year-old Phoebe Winston, 18-year-old Joan Foster, 12-year-old Susan Basile, 35-year-old Sandra DuBose, 17-year-old Dorothy Williams, and an unidentified woman whose body was found in Altamonte Springs, Florida in 1974. Stano knew many details of each of these murders which confirmed him as the killer in each case. Eventually, Stano confessed to the murders of 41 women in all, but eighteen were definitely attributed to him. On June 8, 1983, Stano pleaded guilty to the murders of Susan Bickrest and Mary Muldoon, and Judge Foxman sentenced him to death. In September 1983, a jury convicted Stano of Cathy Lee Scharf's murder and recommended the death penalty. The trial court found four aggravating factors: (1) prior conviction of a violent felony; (2) the murder was committed during a kidnapping; (3) the murder was heinous, atrocious, or cruel; and (4) the murder was cold, calculated, and premeditated. The trial court also sentenced Stano to death, and two years later his conviction and sentence were affirmed on appeal. Gerald Eugene Stano's execution date was pushed back several times, but, on the morning of March 23, 1998, he ate his last meal a Delmonico steak with bacon bits, baked potato with sour cream, French bread with butter, and a tossed salad topped with blue cheese dressing. Dessert was a half-gallon of mint chocolate chip ice cream. He washed all of this down with two liters of Dr. Pepper. Then he was executed in the electric chair at Florida State Prison, witnessed by many relatives of the women he had murdered.

Sarasota, Florida
Assault (2 incidents) Rimae Blair was at Planned Parenthood's Sarasota abortion mill and became insanely angry when she saw pro-lifers peacefully picketing and sidewalk counseling there. She confronted John Zayet, tore the glasses from his face, and threw them across the street. Another sidewalk counselor, Jessica Case, saw this violence and began to take pictures of Blair attacking John Zayet. Blair then attacked Jessica, punching her in the mouth. On May 30, 2003, Blair was sentenced to three months probation, anger management class, 15 hours of community service and court costs for these attacks. References: Operation Save America.

Assault and Death Threat On June 17, 2001, Rachel McGlade and Scott Heldreth and his three-year-old daughter went to the Sarasota Womens Health Center abortion mill to sidewalk counsel and pray. After being there just a short time, a young man and woman who obviously had just aborted their child walked to their car. Scott called out to them. The young man ran over to Scott and began to curse and threaten him, and then punched him in the chest. Then he spat in Scott's face. His girlfriend begged him to stop the attack, and he went back to his car and got a sledgehammer from the trunk. He then held it over Scott's head and threatened to kill him if he did not "shut up," but Scott did not flinch. Nor did he "shut up." Once again, the girlfriend pleaded for him to stop the attack. He dropped the sledgehammer and punched Scott in the face several times. Scott did not resist or deflect his punches. Reference: Operation Save America. "Another Attack at the Sarasota (Florida) Women's Death Center." Operation Save America. Battery (2 incidents), Death Threat, Incompetence and Falsification of Records Matthew J. Kachinas is an example of a doctor who should never have been licensed to practice medicine in the first place. He has a decade-long record of incompetence and violent behavior. However, since he is an abortionist, the medical profession protected him until his behavior simply could not be ignored. On Friday morning, December 27, 2002, the abortionist arrived at the Sarasota Womens Health Center abortion mill at 5025 North Tamiami Trail. Pro-lifer Linda McGlade, a mother of seven children, tried to preach the Gospel to him. Enraged, he exited his vehicle and walked up to within inches of Linda, then said several times "I'm going to kill you!" Then, in front of half a dozen witnesses, and with a video camera running, Kachinas drew his head back and delivered a head butt to Linda's forehead. Linda's son Keith quickly went to his mother's side to defend her. The abortionist tried to provoke Keith into a fight. He taunted him, saying "What are you going to do about it?" The abortionist then flicked the hat off of Keith's head and taunted and cursed him some more. When Keith did not take the bait, the abortionist jumped up and down on Keith's hat while screaming more obscenities. He then walked into his abortion mill. Police responded quickly and took reports, but the abortionist, of course, was not arrested. Even when Kachinas went to the police station and turned himself in, he was not arrested. Contrast this to the usual police attitude of "arrest first, ask questions later" when applied to pro-lifers. In June 2003, Kachinas was found guilty of battery. Immediately after Sarasota's Chief County Judge Logalbo pronounced the sentence upon the abortionist, which included extensive psychiatric evaluation "due to the violence and the fact that he has people's lives in his hands daily," he was fingerprinted and booked in front of a packed gallery of spectators. During his trial, Kachinas lied obviously and flagrantly many times. Noting Kachinas' professional position and his "less than forthright" statements, Judge Logalbo issued a sentence which far exceeded the sentence asked for by the prosecution. Along with the psychiatric evaluations and completion of all recommended treatments, including an anger management program, Kachinas was placed on one year probation in addition to a $1,000 fine and court costs. Incredibly, even the abortionist's lawyer admitted afterwards that he believed the pro-life witnesses over the testimony of his own client! The abortionists troubles did not end there. In 2006, he tried to kill one of two preborn twins in a procedure called selective reduction. He was targeting the twin that had Down Syndrome, but killed the wrong twin, and then had to go back and

Florida - Page 42 -

kill the other a week later. As with all abortionists, he refused to take responsibility for his incompetence. His excuses were that he had never performed the procedure before, that the ultrasound machine must have been defective, and that he hated to tell patients No. Perhaps because of the good money an abortionist can get from doing such abortions? On April 10, 2010, The Florida Board of Medicine finally revoked his license to practice medicine. Kachinas promptly threatened to commit suicide and was involuntarily hospitalized. Previously, he had attempted to smuggle the anesthesia drug Propofol into his clinic, and in 2004, he allegedly falsified records by claiming that an aborted preborn child had died naturally.

Vandalism Pro-abortionists jealously guard their own right to free speech. They are outraged when, for example, Federal funds are withheld from businesses that promote or perform abortions. They call such laws "gag rules." So you would think that they would allow pro-lifers the right to speak as well. Are you kidding? Remember, 'pro-choicers' are hypocrites right to the bone, and this case is just one of hundreds of examples of their hypocrisy and their pervasive double standard. In 2004, the Mission of Nombre de Dios in St. Augustine, Florida set up 4,500 crosses on its lawn symbolizing the unborn children who die each day as a result of legal surgical abortion. This display was sponsored by St. Augustine's St. Gerard Campusan agency, which helps pregnant, unwed mothers. Who could object to that? In March, 'pro-choicers' decided that they would be outraged and that they did not want Catholics to have free speech, so they uprooted and destroyed about 200 of the crosses. Displaying their typical lack of imagination and jingoistic thinking, they left behind about twenty wire coathangers. Al Wolff, the caretaker of the display, told the St. Augustine Record "They're not educated. They don't understand. I pray for them." But the pro-aborts were not satisfied with just destroying pro-life property. They actually supported it publicly. Kathryn Burton of the Massachusetts Abortion Access Project told the St. Augustine Record that "The pro-choice movement has been terrorized by the anti-choice movement for over 30 years, including bombings, arson, harassment, and even murders. The coat hanger, however, is a powerful reminder that making abortion illegal will harm women and their health." Nobody in the mainstream press commented on this. But you can bet that there would have been no tolerance whatever of a pro-lifer who publicly justified destruction of 'pro-choice' property. Reference: Steven Ertelt and Maria Gallagher.

Death Threats (23 incidents), Harassment and Vandalism (4 incidents) Carole Griffin is president of Tallahassee Right to Life. During the Summer of 1988, pro-abortionists carried out a systematic campaign of terror and intimidation against her. They ruined the paint on her car with corrosive chemicals, and shot out the windows of her car and her home. One pro-abortion man telephoned 19 death threats to her house. Near to her office a vandal wrote "Die you scum." At least three times during the Summer of 1988, someone left poisonous snakes in her swimming pool and in her home. Reference: Carole Griffin, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, Life Research Institute, December 2, 1994. Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW) In 1987, a 'clinic defender' attacked pro-life picketer Carole Griffin with a rotary gasoline-powered lawn mower, threatening to shove the whirling steel blades into her face. Reference: Carole Griffin, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, Life Research Institute, December 2, 1994. Assault (4 incidents) In 1987, A pro-abortionist ripped a picket sign from the hands of a pro-life pastor, tore the stick off it, and beat the pastor with the stick. When police tried to arrest the pro-abortionist, the pro-abortionist and two other pro-abortionists attacked the police. The pro-abortionists charged the police with police brutality. Reference: Carole Griffin, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, Life Research Institute, December 2, 1994. Assault (3 incidents) and Destruction of Property (2 incidents) In November of 1986, police, without warning or provocation, attacked peaceful pro-life picketers (picketers, not rescuers!), beating them and smashing their video cameras. Reference: Chicago Suburban Rescue (CSR) news release, August 21, 1993. Harassment The Democratic Party strictly enforces its ban on its legislators on any level voting or even saying anything pro-life, and an African-American Democrat pro-lifer and a woman to boot simply does exist in their tidy, cramped little universe.

Daphne Campbell was a freshman member of the Florida State House of Representatives from Miami. She is a wife and mother of five children, and is also a nurse. On April 21, 2011, after she had given testimony in favor of a bill that would require ultrasounds

Florida - Page 44 -

before abortions, and then voted for it, Democrat leaders openly harassed, threatened and belittled her, while Republicans stood and applauded her. Leading the harassment was Democrat Scott Randolph from Orlando, whose assigned seat is right next to Campbells. He angrily tossed papers on her desk and threw her pen in the trash. Randolph is pro-abortion and pro-homosexual marriage, and was endorsed by Planned Parenthood and the homosexual group Equality Florida. He said to Campbell You are a traitor. I swear, you will not be re-elected. I will get an opponent. Daphne Campbell replied that You have no right. God put me here.

According to pro-choicers, this person should not exist a pro-life, African-American, woman Democrat. If she should exist, however, they will do their best to muzzle her message, all in the name of tolerance. What the Democrats particularly hated was Daphne quoting from the Bible. Democrats react to the Bible in the same way that vampires react to garlic. Later, she told the Sunshine State News, I was the victim of an altercation by my fellow state representative, Scott Randolph. Several items were thrown in my face, foul language was used against me, and I was insulted and ridiculed in front of all my colleagues. I was called a traitor and was told that I was going to be kicked out of office next year. Bill Warren, Director of Policy for the Florida Family Policy Council, witnessed the incident and said Democrats are now harassing her with needless questions on all of her bills and attempting to defeat even simple, non-controversial bills. Florida Family Policy Council President John Stemberger said that I spoke to Rep. Daphne Campbell by phone and personally thanked her and told her she is to be applauded for standing alone within her party in support of the weakest and most vulnerable members of society the unborn. She is a hero within our community and we will do everything we can to rally around her and support her. As for Rep. Scott Randolph, his temper-tantrum-like behavior is intolerant and juvenile. His disrespectful and shameless comments are a disgrace to the dignity of the Florida House of

First-Degree Murder, Assault with a Deadly Weapon (ADW), Kidnapping, Sexual Abuse, Assault, Escape, Forcible Sodomy and Death Threat In October 1995, Joseph Peck beat and murdered his 25-year-old wife Jennifer, who was four months pregnant, because she refused to have an abortion. He stuffed her body into the trunk of her car at the Clique Lounge, a strip club, on North Dale Mabry. Homicide detective Greg Stout said that "We believe that because his wife had become pregnant and would not get an abortion, that he began making threats to her. And we do have documented evidence that he had physically threatened to kill her if she did not get an abortion." Joseph Peck was in an Oklahoma prison, and served six years of a fifteen-year sentence for kidnapping and sodomizing a 16-year-old girl. That term was to end in May 2002, but Tampa police requested he be held until they could file the first-degree murder charge for his wife's death. He was indicted on first-degree murder charges by a Hillsborough County grand jury on June 26, 2002. Detectives had always considered Peck the prime suspect in his wife's death. He had reported her missing, saying he last saw her when she dropped him off at Tampa International Airport for a trip to Oklahoma to visit relatives. Detective Greg Stout said "We actually were in his prison cell in March [2002] and he had a book on his shelf called Living Easy in Mexico. That wasn't lost on us." Joseph Peck served prison time in 1985 and 1986, including a portion of a 15-year sentence for stabbing a prison guard with a sharpened broom handle in an escape. On September 1, 2003, a jury found Peck guilty of the murder of his wife. References: "Husband Charged With Wife's Murder."

Attempted Murder and Kidnapping [Holiday, Florida] This is yet another example of older men getting young girls pregnant and then demanding that they have abortions in order to protect their own selfish interests. In March 2004, 16-year-old Gretchen Alvarez told her 27-year-old boyfriend Brandon Andrew Lawrence that she was pregnant by him. Lawrence immediately pressured her to have an abortion and went so far as to offer to pay for it. He said that the pregnancy was "ruining his life." Gretchen refused, and so Lawrence decided to kill her.

Florida - Page 46 -

He asked Gretchen to meet him at the Pizza Hut where he worked to talk about the situation. He asked her to walk behind the restaurant then told her to close her eyes and claimed he had a gift for her. She testified later that she thought he had flowers behind his back. But what he really had behind his back was a butcher knife, and he slashed her throat repeatedly and dragged her toward his car. Gretchen struggled, and Lawrence stabbed her in the back. Jeffrey and Sheila McKinney saw the attack as they were driving in the restaurant parking lot. They rushed to the rescue, and Jeffrey pinned Lawrence to the ground while Sheila called police. Police charged Lawrence with attempted murder, kidnapping and aggravated child abuse. In court, the "pro-choice" Lawrence claimed that he was only "trying to scare" Gretchen, but the judge did not buy this lame statement, and he was sentenced to ten years in prison. Lawrence made a plea deal that saw the charge of aggravated child abuse dropped, but he was found guilty of the other charges. References: Candace Rondeaux and Nora Koch.

LifeNews, August 18, 2005. Attempted Murder and Assault (5 incidents) [Sarasota] During the period 1991-1993, cowardly pro-abortionists attacked 75-year old John Hungerman five times, taunting him, breaking eggs over his head, and throwing various objects at him. In the most severe of these incidents, the pro-abortionists tried to kill Hungerman. On May 12, 1994, At the Sarasota Womens Health Center abortion mill, a pro-abortionist drove his car up onto the sidewalk and attempted to run him down. References: Operation Rescue National, Violence and Disruption Report, December 4, 1994 and John Hungerman, telephone conversation with Lynn K. Murphy, Life Research Institute, December 11, 1994. Felony Aggravated Battery, Burglary, Shoplifting, Peeping, Criminal Trespass and Probation Violation [Dade City] Clay Wideman was a typical "pro-choice" male undisciplined, demanding, and selfish to the marrow. He had already been convicted of numerous crimes, including burglary, shoplifting, peeping, criminal trespass and probation violations. In February 2003, Wideman attacked his girlfriend, who was 26 weeks pregnant. He punched and kicked her, then grabbed a piece of glass and threatened to "cut that baby" out of her. On September 3, 2003, Circuit Court Judge Wayne Cobb sentenced Wideman to fifteen years in prison on a charge of felony aggravated battery. Wideman must serve every day of the sentence, because he is classified as "prison release reoffender." This means that his penalty was enhanced for certain felonies committed by a person who has been released from prison within the past three years. Reference: Missy Stoddard.

Florida State University student Devin Nickles was a pro-choice man with a prickly problem on his hands. His younger girlfriend was pregnant, and he told others that her pregnancy was ruining his life. He did not have the guts to do the dirty deed himself, so he offered three other men money to beat her so violently that she would miscarry. Just after midnight on New Years Day 2011, Nickles offered Andres Luis Marrero $200 to stage an armed robbery just outside of a New Port Richey apartment complex. Nickles drove his girlfriend to the location and called Marrerro, who walked up to the car wielding a gun, and told them both to get out of the car. She pleaded "Don't hurt me; I'm pregnant." Marrero forced them both deeper into the woods, knocked her to the ground, and began to kick and punch the girl in the abdomen, saying This is how much I care, bitch. After he was done beating her, he told the couple Dont move until Im gone, and fled the scene on foot. The girl was taken to a hospital, where she and her 11-week preborn baby were pronounced healthy. This enraged Nickles, who hired Marshall Chapman to beat the girl again, but did not get to carry out his plan. Police charged Marrero with armed kidnapping and aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. Police arrested Nickles after an investigation and charged him with aggravated battery and two counts of solicitation to commit aggravated battery. They charged Chapman with armed kidnapping and aggravated battery on a pregnant woman. References: Erin Sullivan. Sheriff: Boyfriend Hired Man to Beat Girlfriend, Trying to Cause Miscarriage.

Attempted Forced Abortion and Extortion (3 incidents) Nicholas William Griffin admitted in federal court that he tried to force his Stetson University College of Law classmate to abort her pregnancy after their law-school romance soured. He threatened to distribute a video of him and her having sex unless she aborted their child. He pleaded guilty to using the mail and the telephone to commit extortion. Griffin had two friends mail the 38-year-old woman the video and make threatening calls warning the tape would be sent to her family, friends and employer. The two friends also pleaded guilty. Circuit Judge Richard A. Lazzara sentenced Griffin to 250 hours of community service, 10 months' house arrest and 5 years of probation. The two men who conspired with Griffin to have his child killed, James Dunlap Allen III of Jacksonville and Jeffrey Scott Allen of Winston-Salem, N.C., were each given 5 years probation. "I lost my job because of this, and I am raising my infant single-handedly," the girlfriend said. "Although (Griffin) helped conceive this baby, he wanted me to kill her ... The defendant shows no remorse. He is a man with no honor and no integrity." Assistant U.S. Attorney Ken Lawson called Griffin's behavior "nasty, vile and disgusting," and said "Someone needs to put honor into this man's heart."

Unlawful Sexual Activity with a Minor [Land OLakes] This is another example of the dozens of cases described in this database where child molesters find that abortion is their best friend. It allows them to erase the physical evidence of their crimes and continue to molest their victims. Abortion mills almost never report such molestation. In fact, prochoice groups routinely battle any attempt to make abortion clinics mandatory reporters so that they would be required to report such molestation. 45-year-old Ramon A. Ventura of Land O' Lakes, Florida, was having sex with a 16-year-old girl. She found that she was pregnant, and the girls mother confronted Ventura, who paid $2,400 for the girl to get an abortion. On December 11, 2009, a judge signed a no-bond warrant for Venturas arrest, but he fled and attempted to enter Canada with $13,000 cash stuffed in his pockets. He was extradited to Pasco County soon after, and was charged with unlawful sexual activity with a minor. References: Man Wanted in Florida Arrested at Peace Bridge.

Stalking (2 incidents) [Sarasota] On March 14, 1994, pro-abortionists Robert Thrasher and Albert London, heavily armed with loaded and cocked submachine guns, shotguns, Mace, and semi-automatic pistols, spent several hours photographing and videotaping pro-life protesters at the Sarasota Womens Health Center abortion mill. Abortionist W. Phillip Keene confirmed that the men were just "doing a favor" for him.

Drug Diversion A Florida court affirmed that abortionist Harold Ticktin was "a danger to the health, safety, and welfare of the state." He had had his medical license suspended in an alleged drug-diversion scheme. The Florida medical board disciplined him in 1987 for a criminal conviction or plea of guilty, nolo contendere, or no contest to a crime. His New York medical license was suspended for 12 months in 1988 and revoked in Florida in 1988. References: Associated Press.

Malpractice (5 incidents), Criminal Abortion, Sex Discrimination, Driving Under the Influence (DUI) and Violation of Health and Safety Standards (4 counts) [Clearwater] The Bread and Roses abortion mill claimed to be a woman-centered feminist abortion center. Its advertisements promised "care and counseling to women as we would like to receive it ourselves." The Executive Director of Bread and Roses said that the clinic "has always been conscientious about not being a cattle call the way it is in some places." But in reality Bread and Roses routinely operated under conditions that would force inspectors to shut down a real stockyard. Conditions at the abortion mill were so bad that the journal Feminist Voices exposed it. The journal quoted several former employees of Bread and Roses;

"Laura" claimed that she was misled by the facility's advertising. She told Feminist Voices that counselors were told to "round up a group of women for counseling" during peak periods. "Margaret" said that "The real philosophy is, each woman is worth X amount of money, and the more women we can see, the more money we can make." She also said that the day the clinic "hit peak patient load, the doctor took everyone out to celebrate." "Jenny" said that "They want to attract feminists, but ... when we find out what it's like, we're going to leave." "Judy" said Bread & Roses "just fuels the fire for the pro-lifers, and that worries me."

Jenny and Laura said that they were trained to "maximize the marketing potential" of women calling the facility. The Feminist Voices article said that former employees "likened the clinic to an 'assembly line' and a '7-11.'" The article said that "As business began to pick up, they were pressured to move women rapidly through the clinic so [abortionist] Jakubowski ... could attend to other commitments. ... Former employees also said [abortionist Aleksander] Jakubowski routinely left the premises before patients were fully recovered from surgery. Bread and Roses ex-employees told Feminist Voices that Jakubowski had them "push" twilight sleep on patients at $60 a dose, sometimes threatening to send a woman home if she refused. Other abortionists stated that this use of twilight sleep put patients at unnecessary risk, and was used by some doctors "because they don't have to deal with the patient." Feminist Voices interviewed several other ex-Bread and Roses employees, who said that Bread and Roses abortionists knew that doing abortions prior to eight weeks was more difficult, but did them as early as five weeks when there were few women seeking abortions. Plastic cannulas that were supposed to be disposed of after one use were sterilized and re-used to save money.

Feminist Voices printed testimonies from women who had been aborted at Bread and Roses. One patient said Hooray!! For un-covering the awful work being done at the Bread and Roses Clinic!! This past summer a close friend and I went through an abortion at that factory. We too, were taken in by the feminist jargon purported by their literature. ... It's an assembly line factory. They say they offer counseling what a joke; all they do is take you into this little room, ask how you are today, technically explain the procedure (what's going to be

Florida - Page 50 -

stuck where!) and take your $275. ... In the recovery room, they tried giving my friend aspirin which she's very allergic to, but they kept wanting her to take them. And funny thing, no doctor came to see her in the recovery room, imagine that!! A few days later when my friend experienced a lot of bleeding, they wouldn't let us talk to the doctor, and after numerous calls they told us he was unavailable for phone calls! Another letter from "Christi," published in the December 1988/January 1989 issue of Feminist Voices, said I chose the Bread & Roses Clinic [for my abortion]. Four days later, I began to have severe cramping and nausea. It became progressively worse I was unable to go to work. I called the woman at the clinic and explained the situation and what I was experiencing. She said that since I didn't have a temperature it was unlikely that I had an infection. ... What ended up happening is that each day, the cramps and nausea got worse but the woman I talked to basically said hang on. Finally, she supposedly conferred with the doctor who called in a prescription for antibiotics to my pharmacy. I went through four days of hell before I got the prescription I have never been that sick in my life. I found out a few days later from a gynecologist I had gone to that I had chlamydia. ... After I read the article, I wondered if something had actually happened during the procedure that caused my 'sickness' afterwards. Or what if the instruments weren't sterilized properly after my procedure? I had chlamydia could it have been passed to another woman that way? ... I feel betrayed I navely trusted the clinic. Is there anything that I can do to discourage women from going there? In the same issue of Feminist Voices, "Erica" told of her experiences after picking up her friend "L" from the Bread and Roses abortion mill; In the car I told L. that Bread and Roses was supposed to be a good, progressive clinic for women. It is advertised as a Women's Health Center and even had some blurb in its advertisement in Feminist Voices about care and counseling for women "as we would like to receive it ourselves." L. seemed a bit relieved by my words; she had heard about what "butcher shops" these clinics could be. [After arriving at Bread and Roses], L's temperature was high and there was some concern on the staff's part as to whether or not she should go through the procedure that morning. Later, in front of L. and without further explanation, the doctor gruffly told the nurse not to worry about it. ... The counseling session was nothing more than a chat on birth control and a reconfirmation that the patient was sure this was the option she chose for her pregnancy. [The financial policy at the clinic] is ... money up front. Checks are not accepted. There were 3 or 4 people who had to leave the clinic in order to cash a check while the woman they were accompanying sat in the waiting room, unattended, nervous, alone. L. and I read over the procedure expectations sheet and L. decided she would prefer a shot of Valium over the usual local anesthetic. The Valium was to cost us $30 extra, money we did not have with us. I suggested to the staff that L. receive the Valium shot and I stay with her for the abortion. Then, as soon as L. was in the recovery room, I would go and cash a check for $30. They refused. ... I returned at 9:45. Somehow the $30 they had quoted us became $35, but I had enough to pay it in full. I asked the woman at the desk if I could go in with L. The receptionist said she would check for me and proceeded to talk with 3 other patients about some common

Florida - Page 51 -

acquaintances. She went back to the procedure room only to return and inform me that the door had been closed and it was a big "no no" for her to open it. She assured me I would be called as soon as L. was in recovery. L. first remembers the female assistant having trouble finding a vein to give her the shot. The woman told the doctor of the trouble; he proceeded to grab the needle from her, grab L.'s arm and roughly inject the Valium. He then ordered L. on the table and threw her legs apart. L. felt as though she was some animal at which the doctor was irritated. Her entire experience with the doctor was one of fright, humiliation and vulnerability. She wished I would have been with her to tell the doctor to stop hurting her and stop treating her the way he was. I saw a female staff person and L. leaving the bathroom. L. motioned for me to be with her. I went, but lost sight of her in all the doors and hallways. I asked another staff woman if she knew where L. had just gone. She replied that she did not, but added she would get me when L. was in recovery. L. had been in the bathroom "cleaning up." After the doctor had finished the abortion he told her to stand up. She told him that she felt she was going to pass a lot of blood. They said it was a common feeling. Suddenly, everything the doctor was supposed to have "cleaned out" via suction passed onto the floor fluids, tissue, and what L. believed to be segments of the fetus. The doctor seemed irritated with her. Without any apology or reassurance, he ordered her back on the table. As I waited to be called into the recovery room to be with L., women who had entered after us were leaving the center. Where was L.? Why hadn't they taken me to her? What was going wrong? After L. had been "cleaned" by the doctor a second time she was taken to recovery. ... She asked for me to be with her and they assured her that I would be called. She was rather nauseous, cold and frightened. Needless to say, her request to have me with her was never granted. ... We believe the other 11 women there that morning, as well as countless others, were treated in the same fashion. Such assembly-line conditions made malpractice and negligence an inevitability at Bread and Roses, which abortionist Jakubowski at one time owned and operated, as well as performing abortions in Illinois and Indiana. One of his abortionists, Mario Zapata, botched a 1989 abortion in which the baby was born alive. During an April 18, 1988 abortion, Jakubowski failed to complete a second-trimester abortion on "Deborah T.," and caused a 500-600 cc broad ligament hematoma, a 300 cc retroperitoneal hematoma, a 1000 cc hemoperitoneum, and a large uterine perforation that was irreparable. Jakubowski botched a January 25, 1986 second-trimester abortion on "Julie L.," lacerating her cervix so badly that she required a total abdominal hysterectomy. He also violated the Wisconsin law requiring non-emergency abortions past 12 weeks to be performed in a hospital. Jakubowski performed a biopsy on "Mary U." on January 9, 1984, but he failed to check to see if she was pregnant before starting the procedure. She suffered a miscarriage as a result, as well as a cervical tear requiring repair under general anesthesia. Jakubowski aborted "Stephanie M." on November 7, 1984. She said "I heard a machine go on when you start it ... then the next thing he said was it was all my fault. He ran out of the room, and I never saw him again." She settled out of court for the botched procedure. While he was fitting "Mary L." with a birth control device in December 1986, Jakubowski failed to diagnose her cervical cancer, resulting in her requiring a hysterectomy. On August 9, 1983, Jakubowski delivered "Joseph R.," but did not monitor the labor appropriately and failed to perform a timely Cesarean section, resulting in Joseph being born with brain damage.

Florida - Page 52 -

Jakubowski also carried on an adulterous affair with one of his employees, Lorilee A. Olmsted, beginning in December 1988. She discontinued having sex with him in March 1989 "because he was married and because he had a drinking problem." Then he claimed he "had personal problems with her" and demoted and then fired her without giving a reason in December of 1989. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) found probable cause to believe that Lorilee had been the victim of sex discrimination.

Titusville
Aggravated Manslaughter According to police and prosecution documents and witness testimony, the following events occurred in and around Titusville, Florida. On February 21, 2006, 20-year-old Jaclyn Nicole Helsel of Titusville was six months pregnant and wanted to abort her preborn child, but just did not ever quite get around to having an abortion. So she waited until he was born, watched him struggle and die, and then wrapped his sad little body in a towel and put him under the bathroom sink. The next day, Helsel and her boyfriend, Christopher Lee Wood, wrapped the little baby's body in several layers of plastic and dumped him in a trash can outside their apartment complex. On February 23, 2006, they retrieved the baby's body from the trash and hid it in their bathroom closet. Someone phoned an anonymous tip to police, who found the body and arrested Helsel, charging her with aggravated manslaughter. The State of Florida passed a Safe Haven Law in 2000, which allows parents to leave unwanted newborn babies at hospitals or fire stations anonymously. There was a fire station less than two miles away from Helsel's apartment, but apparently it was just too much trouble for her or her boyfriend to drive that short distance so that their little son could live. Police official Warren Van Vuren said "She also could have dialed 9-1-1. There were about three dozen other options than the one she chose. She just didn't want the child."
